Which scenario is the best example of tension?
a. a mother discovers her little boy surrounded by a spilled box of cereal in the kitchen.
b. a giant growling dog rushes out to meet an unsuspecting jogger.
c. while at the drive-thru, juan remembers he has a coupon in his wallet.
d. two brothers rush to open a box of doughnuts to find only one left.

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.
