Read this excerpt from "Why No Policeman on the Block?"
Already, young computer nerds who have attempted to fill this curious vacuum by writing simple directories for the Internet have amassed fabulous fortunes overnight when their companies went public. Netscape's co-founder Jim Clark's fortune ballooned to an astonishing half billion dollars the day the company went public. (Clark reached billionaire status only eighteen months after starting his company; it took Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, twelve years.)
Which is the most accurate summary of Kaku's argument?
A. Young people interested in pursuing Internet-related careers are likely to accomplish financial success.
B. The rapid success of Netscape's launch is proof that there is a demand for Internet directories.
C. Internet commerce moguls, such as Jim Clark, will generate billions of dollars in profits for their companies.
D. Innovative individuals, such as Jim Clark, will greatly assist the future of Internet efficiency.

The answer is B. The rapid success of Netscape's launch is proof that there is a demand for Internet directories.

Hope this helps!

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

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

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents 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 both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
