Which sentence has an error in parallel structure?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

  • <em>C) The teacher assigned an essay in which students needed to have a strong thesis, to create a clear structure, and</em><u><em> </em></u><u><em>they </em></u><em>needed to make a logically progressive argument. </em>

The error is the use of <u><em>they</em></u> a second time.

Explanation:

To keep <em>parallel structure </em>in sentence you must use the same pattern of words after the conjuntions (for instance, and, or). Some of the parallelis that you must check is the use of the same kind of verbs:

  • progressive with progressive
  • infinitive with infinitive
  • past with past

<em>A) Charlotte didn't know which habit she found the most annoying: smack</em><em><u>ing</u></em><em> gum, tapp</em><em><u>ing</u></em><em> pencils, send</em><em><u>ing </u></em><em>text messages, or sleep</em><em><u>ing</u></em><em> in class.</em>

In that sentence all the verbs use the form <em>ing, </em>thus the parallel structure is correct.

<em>B) The principal could never understand why teachers were</em><em><u> late</u></em><em>, </em><em><u>failed</u></em><em> to turn in their lesson plans, and yet still </em><em><u>complained</u></em><em> incessantly all day long.</em>

All the verbs are in past tense. Thus, this is a correct parallel structre.

<em>C) The teacher assigned an essay in which students needed to have a strong thesis, to create a clear structure, and</em><em><u> they </u></em><em>needed to make a logically progressive argument.</em>

Although, the verb forms are correct, in parallel structures you do not repeat the pronoun.  Thus this form is<u> not a correct parallel structure</u>.

The error is repeating the pronoun <u><em>they.</em></u>

<em>D) Each day at work at the ice cream shop, Ben needed to </em><em><u>check</u></em><em> the inventory of ice cream, </em><em><u>insure </u></em><em>that all the workers showed up on time, and </em><em><u>modify</u></em><em> the menu board's offerings. </em>

All the verbs have the same form. This is a correct parallel structure.

3. The people thought a lion/loin was nearby
balandron [24]

Answer:

3. Lion.

4. Effect.

5. Ensure.

6. Foreword.

Explanation:

The question requires that the most appropriate word is chosen or selected among the list of words provided in each sentence.

1. The people thought a <u>lion</u> was nearby. Lion is a wild animal popularly referred to as the king of the jungle while loin refers to the lower part of the abdomen, reproductive organ or groin. Therefore, lion is the most appropriate choice.

2. Her voice faltered, and had no <u>effect</u> on Tansen's body. Effect is the direct result or outcome of an action (cause) while affect is to change, alter or influence a thing. In this context, the most appropriate word choice is effect.

3. Can you <u>ensure</u> that he attends the ceremony. Ensure is to guarantee or endeavor that an action is performed while insure is a form of compensation provided in the event of a loss based on an agreement. In this case, ensure is the most appropriate.

4. A <u>foreword</u> is a short introductory statement in a book, which is written by

someone other than the author. Forward simply means to advance in a frontal direction.

To me, freedom means to be able to have the power to think freely, speak, and have the right to have thoughts about things other people may disagree to and no one can say anything about it because it matters to what only YOU think. Other people can say what ever they can to get an agreement out of  people, to start a movement. Take Rosa Parks as an example. She didn't have the right to sit in the white persons side of the bus. With her knowing she didn't have the right, she stood up for herself and the others and with that she started a movement to free the blacks and stop racism against different races.  With that voice of her's she created something big that would become history.

Answer:

Freedom:)
