Question

which sentence uses the correct parallel structure? a the office building was bright, well - decorated, and with large windows. b the vacation was relaxing, exciting, and full of new experiences. c the students were eager, focused, and with a lot of enthusiasm. d the room was bright, spacious, and clean.

Explanation:

To determine the correct parallel structure, we check if the items in the list have the same grammatical form.

• Option A: "bright" (adjective), "well - decorated" (adjective), "with large windows" (prepositional phrase) – not parallel.
• Option B: "relaxing" (adjective), "exciting" (adjective), "full of new experiences" (prepositional phrase) – not parallel.
• Option C: "eager" (adjective), "focused" (adjective), "with a lot of enthusiasm" (prepositional phrase) – not parallel.
• Option D: "bright" (adjective), "spacious" (adjective), "clean" (adjective) – all adjectives, so parallel.

Answer:

D. The room was bright, spacious, and clean.
