Question

Which revision fixes the mistake in parallel structure in this sentence?

Michael hates to cook, but he really loves eating!


A) Michael hates to cook, but he loves eating!

B) Michael hates cooking, but he really loves to eat!

C) Michael hates to cook, but he does really love eating!

D) Michael hates cooking, but he really loves eating!

Answer 1

The correct answer would be D) because cooking and eating both end in -ing so this a parallel structure.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer is D. Michael hates cooking, but he really loves eating!
Parallel structure is repeating the chosen grammatical form within a sentence.
The first half of the sentence should follow the same structure as the second half. Correctly and making — both end in “ing”
