Okok last one. lol

the speaker in edgar allan poe’s “the raven” tells the reader something important about himself. what do we learn about the speaker?

he is recovering from a physical malady.
he is lonely and grieving.
he is educated and thoughtful.
he is stressed because of the work he needs to do.

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The speaker in Edgar Allan Poe's, "The Raven" is mourning the death of his lover, Lenore.

Throughout the poem, he tells how lonely and heartbroken he feels without her and how miserable his life has become now that he has lost her. His loss makes him see life as gloomy and hopeless.

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.
