Rewrite the sentence by correcting the faulty parallelism, misplaced modifier, squinting modifier, or dangling modifier.

We enjoyed his company because of his stories and how he told them.

- I've been going over this one for ages, and for some reason, I can't figure it out so I would really appreciate the help!

Answer:

Faulty parallelism

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelism in a sentence requires a construction that follows the same grammatical pattern . To complement because , there are two patterns "of his stories" and "how he told them" that don't agree. So, to correct the sentence, one possible way to rewrite it is: The stories he told and the way he told them mades enjoy his company.
