The sentence that has an error in parallelism is the first sentence: In the morning, I take a shower, getting dressed, and go to school. In order to achieve the right parallelism, the sentence must have the repetition of its chosen grammatical structure. The first sentence is the only one who did not follow its grammatical form.
