Question

Read the sentence below. Then choose the option that maintains parallel structure. Because she lost the invitation, Crystal was unsure of where to go, when to leave, and Question 19 options:

a) if her outfit was appropriate.
b) what the dress code was
c) what she should wear.
d) what to wear.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) what to wear.

(I took the test and this answer choice is correct)

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

The answer is D) what to wear.

Parallelism is a theme, because she used "where to go, when to leave, and..." instead of "where she would go, when she would leave, and..." then the answer is "what to wear".

Let's put the sentence together, "where to go, when to leave, and what to wear". THAT is a parallel sentence!

Now let's try what most would think the answer is which is, C) "what she should wear"... "Where to go, when to leave, and what she should wear", THIS is a normal sentence since the beginning is not the same as the end of the sentence.

That's why it's called parallelism, the beginning is the same as the end. It Mirrors the beginning.

Now if the sentence was, "where she would go, when she would leave, and..." then C would work.

"Where she would go, when she would leave, and what she should wear."

I hoped I helped! Everyone have a blessed day! <3
