how do you avoid confusion when you structure sentences around correlative conjunctions like \either....or\ or \both....and\? give an example of the correct parallel structure using one of these correlatives.
note: use your own words to answer this question.

Explanation:

To avoid confusion, ensure the grammatical structure of the phrases/clauses after each part of the correlative conjunction is identical (parallel structure). This means matching nouns with nouns, verbs with verbs, prepositional phrases with prepositional phrases, etc., so the relationship between the linked elements is clear.

Answer:

To prevent confusion, use strict parallel structure: the words, phrases, or clauses paired by the correlative conjunction must follow the same grammatical form.
Example using "both...and": "She both enjoys hiking in the mountains and swimming in the coastal bays."
