Which sentence has faulty parallelism? After it started snowing, the drive back home was long, tense, and dangerous. The play was not only interesting but also funny. At the restaurant, I enjoyed the appetizer as well as the main course. Last night we ate dinner at a restaurant, watched a play, and had driven home.

Answer: D) Last night we ate dinner at a restaurant, watched a play, and had driven home.

Step-by-step explanation: Parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the grammatical structure of words or phrases in a sentence or a paragraph. Specially when we write a list of elements, we need to use the same grammatical structure, so from the given options, the sentence that is an example of faulty parallelism is option D, because the elements of the lists don't have the same structure, in order to be correct it should be: Last night we ate dinner at a restaurant, watched a play, and drove home.
