Question
Identify whether the sentence is PARALLEL or FAULTY.
People outside are pushing and shoving while he hums and cooks in the kitchen.
Solution
The sentence "People outside are pushing and shoving while he hums and cooks in the kitchen." is PARALLEL.
Here's why:
-
The sentence is comparing two different actions happening at the same time - "People outside are pushing and shoving" and "he hums and cooks in the kitchen."
-
In both parts of the sentence, the verbs are in the same form (present continuous - are pushing, are shoving, is humming, is cooking) which maintains parallel structure.
-
The actions in each part of the sentence are also parallel - "pushing and shoving" corresponds to "hums and cooks". Both parts have two actions happening at the same time.
Therefore, the sentence maintains a parallel structure.
