Which detail from Passage 2 MOST CLOSELY reflects the information in passage 1
"The legion did not have to wonder what the
future held-war or peace-for long."
"The Rubicon was narrower than Magnus and
Lucius, knowing its significance, had
imagined."
from Readings in Ancient History,
“The Crossing of the Rubicon
by William Stearns Davis
"Magnus and Lucius matched the pace of their
fellow soldiers, knowing that each step
brought them closer to the banks of the
Rubicon."
"With one blast he commanded his men to
accompany him to the other side of the river,
where they would emerge into the great
unknown.

Explanation:

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.

you didn't provide the passage.

explanation:

seeing as this is your first question on i can see why you may have not known that you need to provide the passage.

without the passage, or even the name of the passage, we can not read the passage, therefore we can not determine when or how the pacing effects the tone.

however, you can either repost this question (providing the passage this time)

or you can comment below what the passage is, and i'll you to the best of my ability!
