Question

When creating an outline, it should be balanced. Constructing parallel headings is a practice which helps to balance an outline. Which example heading is not parallel to the rest?

Answer 1

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the options, which are the following:

A. Organizing

B. Writing the first draft

C. To edit

Answer:

C. To edit

Explanation:

Parallelism involves keeping the same grammatical structure. Thus, To edit is a full infinitive construction, which is different from gerund constructions like Organizing and Writing the first draft. As a consequence, option C does not follow the same grammatical feature or parallelism of the rest of the headings.
