Question 12 • AISD English III 2026_27 Sem B

Choose the sentence that contains parallel elements.

Answer
A
Coach said we could have beaten that team, but it had played with more heart.
B
Coach said we lost the game because our hitting was sloppy and our fielding was slow.
C
We were all tired and had been angry after we lost the championship game.

Explanation

Choice B uses parallel structure: “our hitting” and “our fielding” are both activities, and each is described with a similar phrase—“was sloppy” and “was slow.” This balanced construction makes the sentence’s two reasons for losing easy to compare.
