Question

Don’t forget to walk the dog or feeding (incorrect; fill in the blank with the phrase that is paralllel to “to walk” ____ ____ the cats.

Answer 1

The corrected phrase to make the sentence parallel is 'to feed', resulting in the sentence 'Don’t forget to walk the dog or to feed the cats.'

Step-by-step explanation:

To correct the sentence 'Don’t forget to walk the dog or feeding the cats,' we need to make sure that the verbs are in parallel structure. This means that verbs appearing in a series should all be in the same form (infinitive, gerund, etc.).

In this sentence, 'to walk' is in the infinitive form, so we need to use the infinitive form for the second verb as well.

The correct phrase should be 'to feed' to maintain parallelism. Therefore, the corrected sentence should read, 'Don’t forget to walk the dog or to feed the cats.'
