Recently, humans have become more aware of how their actions impact earth. governments, organizations, and individuals try to improve the quality of earth’s air and water by changing the way they do things. one area in which great improvements for the environment have been made is building and construction. this process, often called green building, is taking off in our country and around the world. the word green is used describe things that are good for nature because green plants can be a symbol of nature. the author most likely italicized the word green in the first paragraph because a) the word is part of a title. b) the word is being described. c) the word is very interesting. d) the word is easy to recognize.

B)

Explanation:

It is b) because ”green” is being described at the moment.

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.

i don't know exactly what it's asking, but either one of these pairs would

her; him

edith; sam
