Revise the sentence below to correct the lack of parallel structure. Be sure that your revised sentence uses

the active voice and is in the perfect tense.

The dog is being walked by Eli after Eli had finished his homework.

Answer:

Eli had walked the dog after he had finished his homework.

Step-by-step explanation:

Active voice is when the subject does the action (Eli had walked the dog instead of the dog had been walked by Eli) and perfect tense is when an action had happened and uses the verb to have. Parallel structure is when all of the verbs use the same tense. (Eli had walked the dog after he had finished his homework, not Eli is walking the dog after he had finished his homework. it does not make sense because it is using two verb tenses.)
