Question 6 • ELA 10B - 2023

Which sentence uses parallel structure correctly?

Answer
A
The architect expected that she would present her plan, her presentation, and then ask if there were any questions.
B
The architect expected that she would present her plan, show her presentation, and then she might ask if there were any questions.
C
The architect expected that she would present her plan, would show her presentation, and would ask if there were any questions.
D
The architect expected that she would present her plan, that there would be time for her presentation, and people could ask questions.

Explanation

Parallel structure uses the same grammatical pattern for items in a series. Choice C repeats “would” before each action: “would present,” “would show,” and “would ask.” The other choices mix different forms or structures, such as “present” with “her presentation” in A.
