they work more than most others
Which sentence contains faulty parallel structure?
A. He ate, ran, and showered before going to work.
B. He purchased the blender on Friday, used it on Saturday, and broke it on Sunday.
C. He exercised while I watch television.
D. I knew he was telling the truth as soon as he spoke the words.
Answer:
C. He exercised while I watch television.
Explanation:
Faulty parallelism simply means mixing up verb forms in a sentence when making a list of things.
Therefore, the sentence that contains faulty parallelism is option C which says "He exercised while I watch television"
This is a faulty parallel structure because it should be written as "He exercised, while I WATCHED television"
A complex sentence contains at least one independent and dependent clause.
Participle
An participle is a word that is usually a verb but is being used in a sentence as a different part of speech.

Draw = drawing; drawn
Run = running
Laugh = laughed; laughing
Type = Typed; typing
Cut = cut
