English

Answer:

Brief.

Explanation:

Prolonged means longer than usual or extended. So, going based on this..

  • It can't be torn since that means something that is ripped to pieces or shreds. Something being longer than usual would have little to no (flipped) connection with that.
  • Meek means shy.. Why would something being long have an opposite meaning submissive?
  • Slack can mean many things, but for this let's just say it means that something's loose. Well, loose and long mean nothing similar, unless we're admitting that this has a lot of slack (no pun intended) and is hanging down pretty low, making it long. Unfortunately, it doesn't, so we'll have to scratch that out.
  • Now, brief is out perfect match; it means short, and what is the opposite of short? Long! So, we have our answer:

           The closest antonym for the word prolonged is brief.

Hope this helped! : D

Which sentence employs parallel structure correctly? A. The objective of the lesson was to teach cooperation, trust, and being r
Sergio039 [100]

B.On the hike, Mr. Clark tripped over a tree root, fell to the ground, and broke his wrist.

Parallel structure is using the same grammatical structure for a list of items or ideas. In option B, all of the actions in the list are written in simple past tense. They do not include a helping verb or other form. The verbs are all the same structure: tripped, fell, broke.

Option A is not correct. To make it correct parallel structure, "being responsible" should be "responsibility". To correct the parallel structure for Option C, "babysitting" should be "to babysit". To fix option D, add "having" before fierce determination.
