the lost hikers used their compass to find their way to the river.
question #9
which sentence below uses correct parallelism/parallel structure?
chenoa made a list of her favorite de - stressing activities: painting, drawing, bike riding, and to fly kites.
chenoa made a list of her favorite de - stressing activities: painting, drawing, bike riding, and kite flying.

Explanation:

For Question #8, in an active - voice sentence, the subject performs the action. In "The lost hikers used their compass to find their way to the river", the hikers (subject) are doing the action (using the compass). In "The river was found by the lost hikers who used their compass", it is in passive voice as the river (object) is receiving the action of being found. For Question #9, in parallel structure, items in a list should have the same grammatical form. In "Chenoa made a list of her favorite de - stressing activities: painting, drawing, bike riding, and kite flying", all items are gerunds (-ing forms). In "Chenoa made a list of her favorite de - stressing activities: painting, drawing, bike riding, and to fly kites", "to fly kites" is not in the same form as the others.

Answer:

Question #8: The lost hikers used their compass to find their way to the river.
Question #9: Chenoa made a list of her favorite de - stressing activities: painting, drawing, bike riding, and kite flying.
