Question 9 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

Which phrase in the sentence should be revised because it is not parallel?When vacation time comes, we’ll take long walks, go swimming, old movies on video, and play board games.

Answer
A
“take long walks”
B
“go swimming”
C
“old movies on video”
D
“play board games”

Explanation

The activities in the list should use parallel verb phrases: “take long walks,” “go swimming,” and “play board games.” The phrase “old movies on video” does not begin with a verb, so it breaks the pattern. Revise it to something like “watch old movies on video.”
