Darron loves his career because it mostly fits in with his lifestyle. he likes how he is able to make a lot of money and stay very busy while at work. he also likes that he travels a lot and gets to see new places. he thinks that one of the reasons he is successful is that he enjoys the competition in his career that some people would find stressful. however, he wishes he had more time at home with his family. which aspect of darron’s career matches his lifestyle but is also in conflict with some of his desires? a busyness while at work b earning money c frequent travel d strong competition

D) strong competition

The answer is: D strong competition

In this passage from Darron we can se that “He likes how he is able to make a lot of money and stay very busy while at work” and “he enjoys the competition in his career that some people would find stressful” however, this does not let him much time to spend with his family. So it gets in conflict with his desires.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
