If you need to make up a sentence so that it should have a parallel structure it means that the second part of the sentence must have the same pattern of words. It is needed to emphasize that both parts of the sentence have the same importance.
Alice worked hard to ensure that her presentation was <span>creativel, effective and persuasive. (the same structure - adjectives)</span>
The teachers like John because he never came late to the classes, always got his homework in time and was very polite to teachers. (the same form of representing qualities).
A seems like the right answer. Normally if a sentence sounds right, it is.
B is wrong because it makes it seem like she finished a book report with her family. The words are all mixed up.
C is wrong because it says she looked forward to having just finished... it doesn't make sense. She was looking forward to a relaxing weekend, not the report.
D is wrong because the words are all mixed up and doesn't make sense.
Hope this helps!
Two reasons why the Maya civilization prospered as a civilization are:
- <em>They observed the stars and the cosmos: </em>This was very important to the development of their material and religious life, but it also helped them to <u>prevent from floods, droughts and other natural disasters caused mainly by the motion of the earth around the globe.</u>
- <em>They studied and stored their crops: </em>This contributed to<u> feeding and nourishing</u> the population of the civilization, as well as to <u>enhance their economy</u> by selling high-quality crops to other settlements of people.
