Question

Identify the type of error in the sentence below.

When we returned home, we started to clean the den and began washing the dishes.

split infinitive
dangling modifier
misplaced modifier
lack of parallel structure

Answer 1

I believe the answer is D. Lack of Parallel Structure. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is LACK OF PARALLEL STRUCTURE.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "when we returned home, we started to clean the den and began washing the dishes" there is no parallel structure.

Parallel structure is the repetition of the same grammatical pattern within a sentence.

In this case, the statement with parallel structure would be "when we returned home, we started cleaning the den and began washing the dishes".
