Question

Read the sentence.
Pet canaries need large cages, wooden perches, some fresh water, and keep out of cold.
Which phrase should be revised for a more parallel sentence?
large cages
wooden perches
some fresh water
keep out of cold

Answer 1

Answer D: keep out of cold.

 The phrase "keep out of cold" should be revised because it does not follow the same pattern used before in the sentence, which describes the needs of pet canaries: large cages, wooden perches, some fresh water. To add another item in this sentence, and sequence, it is necessary to use the same grammatical pattern. Revised, it can be: "...and being kept out of cold."

Answer 2

The phrase in the sentence that should be revised for a more parallel sentence structure is "keep out of cold," as is expressed in option D and explained below.

What is parallelism?

Parallelism refers to the use of certain grammatical structures inside a sentence. For a sentence to be seen a parallel, the same structure must be repeated. Parallelism is used to:

• Organize ideas.

• Make the sentence clearer.

• Avoid confusion.

In the sentence we are analyzing here, after the verb "need", we notice a repetition of the structure adjective + noun:

• large cages

• wooden perches

• fresh water

However, the phrase "keep out of cold" breaks that structure, since it consists of a verb + noun. Therefore, this is the phrase that should be revised for parallelism.
