Answer 1

The sentence “Carl, you both lie and act like a terrific monster!" my little brother declared” does not use parallel structure correctly.

Parallel structure (also called parallelism) is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. By making each compared item or idea in your sentence follow the same grammatical pattern, you create a parallel construction.
