a short paragraph that has parallelism to advocate

Answers

Answer 1
Parallelism

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Identify sentences that are parallel and not parallel.
Identify ways to create parallelism in writing.
Write and revise sentences using parallelism.
Earlier in this chapter, we learned that increasing sentence variety adds interest to a piece of writing and makes the reading process more enjoyable for others. Using a mixture of sentence lengths and patterns throughout an essay is an important writing technique. However, it is equally important to avoid introducing variation within individual sentences. A strong sentence is composed of balanced parts that all have the same structure. In this section, we will examine how to create a balanced sentence structure by using parallelism.

Using Parallelism
Parallelism is the use of similar structure in related words, clauses, or phrases. It creates a sense of rhythm and balance within a sentence. As readers, we often correct faulty parallelism—a lack of parallel structure—intuitively because an unbalanced sentence sounds awkward and poorly constructed. Read the following sentences aloud:

Faulty parallelism: Kelly had to iron, do the washing, and shopping before her parents arrived.

Faulty parallelism: Driving a car requires coordination, patience, and to have good eyesight.

Faulty parallelism: Ali prefers jeans to wearing a suit.

All of these sentences contain faulty parallelism. Although they are factually correct, the construction is clunky and confusing. In the first example, three different verb forms are used. In the second and third examples, the writer begins each sentence by using a noun (coordination, jeans), but ends with a phrase (to have good eyesight, wearing a suit). Now read the same three sentences that have correct parallelism.

Correct parallelism: Kelly had to do the ironing, washing, and shopping before her parents arrived.

Correct parallelism: Driving a car requires coordination, patience, and good eyesight.

Correct parallelism: Ali prefers wearing jeans to wearing a suit.

When these sentences are written using a parallel structure, they sound more aesthetically pleasing because they are balanced. Repetition of grammatical construction also minimizes the amount of work the reader has to do to decode the sentence. This enables the reader to focus on the main idea in the sentence and not on how the sentence is put together.

Tip

A simple way to check for parallelism in your writing is to make sure you have paired nouns with nouns, verbs with verbs, prepositional phrases with prepositional phrases, and so on. Underline each element in a sentence and check that the corresponding element uses the same grammatical form.

Creating Parallelism Using Coordinating Conjunctions
When you connect two clauses using a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), make sure that the same grammatical structure is used on each side of the conjunction. Take a look at the following example:

Faulty parallelism: When I walk the dog, I like to listen to music and talking to friends on the phone.

Correct parallelism: When I walk the dog, I like listening to music and talking to friends on the phone.

The first sentence uses two different verb forms (to listen, talking). In the second sentence, the grammatical construction on each side of the coordinating conjunction (and) is the same, creating a parallel sentence.

The same technique should be used for joining items or lists in a series:

Faulty parallelism: This committee needs to decide whether the company should reduce its workforce, cut its benefits, or lowering workers’ wages.

Correct parallelism: This committee needs to decide whether the company should reduce its workforce, cut its benefits, or lower workers’ wages.

The first sentence contains two items that use the same verb construction (reduce, cut) and a third item that uses a different verb form (lowering). The second sentence uses the same verb construction in all three items, creating a parallel structure.

EXERCISE 1

On your own sheet of paper, revise each of the following sentences to create parallel structure using coordinating conjunctions.
Mr. Holloway enjoys reading and to play his guitar at weekends.
The doctor told Mrs. Franklin that she should either eat less or should exercise more.
Breaking out of the prison compound, the escapees moved carefully, quietly, and were quick on their feet.
I have read the book, but I have not watched the movie version.

What are the meanings and ifferences between “based off” & “based on”

Answers

Answer:

The phrase “based off of” may be related to “flying of off,” as it seems to mean something like “is now different from, but was once more obviously similar to.” By contrast, “based on” may be taking on the meaning “still directly connected to.”

Answers

Answer:

The snake means that his poison can kill the body and allow the soul to return to where it came from.

Explanation:

The children's classic "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery revolves around the story of a stranded pilot's encounter with a "Little Prince" from the planet "Asteroid B-612".

The Little Prince's encounter with the "coil of gold" on the barren desert is found in chapter 17. Here, the Little Prince did not know about snakes nor about anything but was courteously conversing with the reptile. When he commented on how powerless the snake is, "u haven't even any feet. You cannot even travel. . ." the snake remarked that "Whomever I touch, I send back to the earth from whence he came."

This reference is to the Biblical notion of man coming from dust and returning to dust when one dies. So, when he said "whence they came" he's talking about the poison that can kill and send men back to the earth.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

What type of government was chosen in South Africa? a) Racial government b) Democratic government c) Non-racial democratic government d) Racial democratic government

Answers

Answer:

b) Democratic government

Explanation:

South Africa was an English colony for many years. However, in 1910, with an organization to seek independence among Africans, the British overthrew the colony system and transformed South Africa into something called a "union," which was basically the same thing as a colony, but which it allowed a small domination by the Africans. However, the movement for independence became increasingly strong, which allowed South Africa to become an independent country in 1931. After a period of political organization, it was decided that the African government would be a representative parliamentary democratic republic. Which means that the population would choose its rulers, who would represent all citizens in political matters.
