Answer from: denjayjr681

Explanation:

You can rule out b) and d) because the article includes the MOST POPULAR sports. Choices b) and d) both mention that the sports mentioned (cheese rolling and underwater hockey) are not very popular.

Choice a) although mentions basketball, is more focused on “Magic Johnson.”

That leaves c) as the best choice. Choice c) includes a focus (soccer) and the fact that it has more followers worldwide than any other sport. This directly relates to the text about the (MOST POPULAR sports) It shows that soccer is popular with lots of fans worldwide.

Answer from: Quest

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.

Before ending this lesson, take a moment to review an informative research essay you have written. you’ve probably already written a conclusion to the essay. but is it the best conclusion it can be? does it properly summarize the main subtopics of your essay? does it state in one or two sentences the “so what” of your topic. if your topic was abraham lincoln, your essay shouldn’t be just about abraham lincoln. it should answer, “so what about abraham lincoln? ” take five or ten minutes, and looking only at that single paragraph, revise your conclusion
