Question

Read the sentence. In film production, it is the role of directors to envision the script that tells a story, to develop an artistic lens that enhances their ideas, and guiding the team that will carry out their vision. How should the underlined section be revised to create parallel structure?
a. guiding the team to carry out their vision
b. to guide the team that will carry out their vision
c. guiding the team that is carrying out their vision
d. guides the team that will carry out their vision

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": to guide the team that will carry out their vision.

Explanation:

Parallel structure is used in writing when the author wants to give two or more ideas the same importance. It is also a tool that adds clarity to the writing so it can be read easily.

In the case given, instead of saying:

"...guiding the team that will carry out their vision..."

It is better to use the infinitive to guide so both verbs guide and carry have the same grammar structure.
