Nonrestrictive Elements and Parallel Structure

Question 1 • DBN LA 6-CR

Which sentence contains parallel structure?

Answer
A
Mekhi was finally finished with his chemistry homework.
B
Mekhi finished his chemistry homework before basketball practice.
C
Mekhi spent three hours finishing his chemistry homework.
D
Mekhi finished his chemistry homework and then finished his essay.

Explanation

Parallel structure uses the same grammatical form for related ideas. In choice D, “finished his chemistry homework” and “finished his essay” repeat the same verb phrase structure, so the actions are parallel. The other choices describe only one action and do not pair two matching structures.
