Question

read the sentence.
for optimal health, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, ________, and sleep at least seven hours a night.
which clause completes the sentence by creating parallelism?

• regular exercise
• exercise regularly
• exercising regularly
• you get regular exercise

Explanation:

Parallelism requires matching grammatical structures. The existing parts of the sentence use imperative verbs: "eat..." and "sleep...". To maintain parallelism, the missing clause must also start with an imperative verb. "exercise regularly" follows this structure, while the other options use noun phrases, gerunds, or a full independent clause which break the parallel pattern.

Answer:

O exercise regularly
