Question

Which sentence fails to use correct parallel structure?

A) Please show respect by standing, being silent, and listening carefully to the speaker.
B) The bus that broke down was filled with expectant mothers, babies, and a few smaller children.
C) The teacher said we could use newspapers, magazines, encyclopedias, or websites for our research.
D) If you want to train well, you need to work on your rowing, hiking, biking, and of course you need to run more.

Answer 1

I believe it's D but I could be wrong. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

D is the correct answer because “of course you need to run more” is not parallel with the rest of the sentence. It should just be “running”
