The simple subjects in each sentence are the following:

11. Often, a mask (was, were) made for ritual dances.

12. Natural forces (has, have) been the subjects of art from early times on.

13. Also, pictures (has, have) often represented religious beliefs.

14. Art (does, do) represent various aspects of the daily life and customs of a society.

Now, let's underline the correct verb form and label which type of verb they are:

11. Often, a mask (was, were) made for ritual dance. - AUX

12. Natural forces (has, have) been the subjects of art from early times on. - AUX

13. Also, pictures (has, have) often represented religious beliefs. - AUX

14. Art (does, do) represent various aspects of the daily life and customs of a society. - AUX

We can define a simple subject as the main word in the subject, the one that establishes a relationship with the verb. Let's use the subject from sentence 11 as an example: the complete subject is "a mask", but the most important word out of those is "mask". This is the word we are talking about, the one that is the topic of the sentence.

As seen in the answer above, all the underlined verbs were auxiliary verbs. Auxiliary verbs accompany the main verbs. While the main verbs express action, the auxiliary verbs help convey tense, emphasis, possibility, questions, etc. Notice that we choose the verb to agree with the subject: singular-singular ("mask was"), plural-plural ("pictures have").

This question, in conclusion, concerned the relationship between a subject and a verb.

Which of the following sentences exhibits proper parallelism?

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The sentence with the best elements of parallelism of the examples provided is Option B. Science may be challenging, but it is also rewarding; reading might be time-consuming, but it is also enlightening.

Explanation:

Parallelism is a property of the way your sentences are structured in a piece of writing. It is usually a property that is particularly important when providing lists in something you write. All points on a list should start with a word in the same format, i.e. the listed elements should all start with a noun -- or a verb, if that is the case -- but not a mixture of those two elements. You see this mistake a lot on peoples resumes when they are listing things. Option B is best because "reading" is treated like the noun "science" in this case. Another example of the work "reading" being treated like a noun would be: "I have done the reading." Both sentences use the verb in the present progressive form in the second independent clause ending each sentence. That is another way they are parallel. There are other grammatical similarities that could be considered parallelsim in this example too!
