Hi, This is actually one of my favorite novels! I prefer to work through this question with you-- it'll build your comprehension of the novel and its themes. I want you to consider the arc of their friendship-- how did it start? What was their relationship at first? What initially tied them together? Once we get through that starting point, we can trace how their friendship affected them.
Answer:
A.) Paolo learned to play golf, paddle a canoe, and tie complicated knots.
Explanation:
<u>Parallel construction is found in sentences where several parts of the sentence are written in the same form. This not only makes the sentence grammatically correct but also makes it more coherent and flow better.</u>
We can break down each sentence to show which one has the correct parallel construction.
A.) Paolo learned to play golf, paddle a canoe, and tie complicated knots. This sentence is a good demonstration of parallel construction.
B.)I will feel proud if I finish in second place, but I regretted not earning the first place trophy. One clause of the sentence uses future tense, and the other clause uses past tense. This is not parallel.
C.) Claudette followed the flashlight's beam down the trail, and she tries not to bump into Khanh in front of her. Again, the tenses in this sentence don't match. One clause is past tense and the other is present.
D.) Her plate was piled high with grilled vegetables, a mound of minced garlic, and is heaped with crushed herbs. This sentence would be parallel if it was rewritten as, "Her plate was piled high with grilled vegetables, minced garlic, and crushed herbs." "A mound," and "is heaped" make all three of these different forms meaning it is not parallel.
