Question

True or False: the following sentence demonstrates parallelism:

For her English class, Nikki wanted to creatively, persuasively, and professionally present her speech.
True
False

Answer 1

Answer: False.

Explanation: There are 02 types of parallelism: syntactic and semantic. In the case of the sentence there isn't parallelism because we couldn't identify the two characteristics mentioned above. In the syntactic aspect there is a good concordance / coherence between the terms: subject and predicate and in the semantic aspect there is a relation of ideas between creative and persuasive . But I see no relationship or parallelism with the word professional. I understand that this word points to a reality of work and not of the classroom.
