In “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati, the colomber’s pursuit illustrates an internal conflict.

Explanation:

As the narrator states “the colomber was synonymous with ruin. With nothingness.” The man in the story is struggling with his desire to stay in the sea forever or leaving it to scape from the fish. In this case, the fish represents his fears of not succeeding and being left. Therefore, he always thought the fish was pursuing him to kill him.

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.
