Which sentence is correctly punctuated with a colon?
emmasim [6.3K]

The correct answer is A. Hannah Teter has won medals in several Olympic games: 2003 Aspen, 2006 Turin, and 2010 Vancouver

Explanation:

In grammar, the colon (:) is mostly used to introduce a list or set of elements that explain a previous sentence. This means the colon should be placed right before the elements it introduces and besides this, it can only be included if the previous sentence is independent. According to this, in the sentence "Hannah Teter has won medals in several Olympic games: 2003 Aspen, 2006 Turin, and 2010 Vancouver" the colon should be placed after the word "games" and before "2003 Aspen" because "2003 Aspen, 2006 Turin, and 2010 Vancouver" is the list of items that explain the Olympic games Hannah Teter participated in, also by placing the colon in this position the first sentence is complete and independent.

Parallelism is tested on the ACT English test in the context of phrases or items in a list. In parallel construction, the phrase
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The sentence that is not written in parallel structure is the following one: I love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, snowboarding and to read.

Explanation:

Parallel structure, also called parallelism, is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. By making each item follow the same grammatical structure, you create a parallel construction.

In the sentence above, there are three elements coordinated by the conjunction <em>and. </em>When you connect two or more clauses or phrases with a coordinating conjunction, you should use a parallel construction. That is to say, all the parts of speech should be the same. In this case, the elements coordinated are NPs (noun phrases) that function as the direct of the verb <em>to love. </em>However, the phrase <em>to love</em> is not an NP but a VP (verbal phrase). To correct the error of faulty parallelism, you should replace that VP with its corresponding  NP (reading). Consequently the revised version of the sentence would be as follows: I love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, snowboarding and reading.
