Question

choose the sentence that uses parallel construction correctly.

rodney thinks that he will set the table, cook dinner, and eating with his family.

amanda is a talented seamstress but would rather garden, ride her bike, or recycling aluminum.

sophia and jennifer attended class, completed their homework, and made dinner for their parents.

james and ty wanted to audition for the musical, trying out for the basketball team, or participate in the chess club.

Explanation:

Parallel construction requires that linked phrases in a sentence use the same grammatical form.

1. First option: "set", "cook" (base verbs) are paired with "eating" (gerund) – inconsistent.
2. Second option: "garden", "ride" (base verbs) are paired with "recycling" (gerund) – inconsistent.
3. Third option: "attended", "completed", "made" are all past tense verbs – consistent parallel structure.
4. Fourth option: "audition", "participate" (base verbs) are paired with "trying" (gerund) – inconsistent.

Answer:

Sophia and Jennifer attended class, completed their homework, and made dinner for their parents.
