Question

Choose the sentence that has correct parallel structure.

A. The kids who got the sickness first were the kids who had the
sickness the longest.
B. Misery, sickness, and exhaustion entered my house.
C. My housed was invaded by some strange illness, followed by
misery, and in the end, we were all exhausted.
D. None of the above are correct.

Answer 1

The sentence with correct parallel structure is 'Misery, sickness, and exhaustion entered my house,' as it aligns the nouns in a series to show equal importance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to identify the sentence that exhibits correct parallel structure. Parallel structure refers to the use of the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance. This typically involves lining up nouns with nouns, verbs with verbs, and so on, to ensure symmetry and balance within the sentence.

In this case, the correct answer is:

B. Misery, sickness, and exhaustion entered my house.

This sentence maintains parallel structure by using a series of nouns (misery, sickness, exhaustion) that are equally important within the sentence and are presented grammatically in the same way.
