Which excerpt from Act V, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet best reflects the idea that when a person overlooks what he or she knows is wrong, it can result in a catastrophe? This letter doth make good the friar’s words,
Their course of love, the tidings of her death:
And I, for winking at your discords too,
Have lost a brace of kinsmen: all are punish’d.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things:
Some shall be pardon’d, and some punished:
Seal up the mouth of outrage for a while,
Till we can clear these ambiguities,

B

Explanation:

took test

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.

the statement that best explains why the tenth amendment reserves some rights and powers to states is that the framers believed in the principle of federalism. this principle says that some powers are in the hands of a centralized national government, while others are reserved for the governments of several states.
