Which function does the phrase in bold play in the sentence below? After their competition, the cheerleaders will enjoy a long break.

adjective

adverb

noun

verb

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.

you have to write the essay, it counts as cheating if i do. so just use your brain; you're a smart kid. you can do it. : )

explanation:

nah. i'm good.

this doesnt make any sense imao
