Question 12 • SC-English 3 Honors

Which sentence contains parallel structure?

Answer
A
Jalen folded the application, placing it in the envelope.
B
Jalen folded the application and placed it in the envelope.
C
Jalen, folding the application, placed it in the envelope.
D
Jalen folded the application and placing it in the envelope.

Explanation

Parallel structure uses the same grammatical form for ideas joined together. In choice C, “folded” and “placed” are both past-tense verbs, so the two actions match. Choice B mixes “folded” with “placing,” which breaks the parallel structure.
