Astudent is writing a review of an article that contains some text on an unrelated topic. which word would be the most objective way to describe this content? inappropriate: not suitable or compatible irrelevant: not significant to the matter at hand pointless: devoid of meaning or effectiveness unrelated: not connected

The most common word used to describe this particular scenario is option B: "Irrelevant", since the text is not in accordance with the article, it does not help express the idea of the article it is not only unrelated but it is irrelevant, therefore option D is incorrect. Option A and C are incorrect because they only express that the text does not support the idea, not that it is unrelated to the topic.

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.
