The parallel structure of a sentence implies the use of words or phrases carrying equal significance. As per the given question, none of the examples displaying a parallel construction as they fail to follow a similar structure(ideas of equal importance). As per the grammatical rules, while following a list in a sentence(as given in the question), each part must carry a similar form or tense of the verb. Therefore, the correct version of the given sentence would read as:
'Each of the stories has strong protagonists, timeless themes, and realistic conflicts.'
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
I would not have it imagined, however, that he was one of those cruel potentates of the school, who joy in the smart of their subjects; on the contrary, he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity; taking the burden off the backs of the weak, and laying it on those of the strong. Your mere puny stripling, that winced at the least flourish of the rod, was passed by with indulgence; but the claims of justice were satisfied by inflicting a double portion on some little, tough, wrong-headed, broad-skirted Dutch urchin, who sulked and swelled and grew dogged and sullen beneath the birch. All this he called "doing his duty by their parents;" and he never inflicted a chastisement without following it by the assurance, so consolatory to the smarting urchin, that "he would remember it, and thank him for it the longest day he had to live."
a) Ichabod was a just teacher who treated his students impartially.
b) Ichabod was a good teacher who tried to do right by his students.
c) Ichabod was a fair teacher who was misunderstood by his students.
d) Ichabod was an unjust teacher who punished his students with prejudice.
Answer:
Hi!
The answer to your question would be letter D. Ichabod was an unjust teacher who punished his students with prejudice
Explanation:
We can conclude this is the answer because choices A, B and C put Ichabod as a goor, fair or impartial teacher, but based on the words used on the text provided, we can tell this is not the case.
For instance, the writer says that professor Ichabod "administered justice with discrimination" and discrimination is defined as "the unjust treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex".
Therefore, we can see that the author thought he was an unjust teacher, so the proper answer would be choice D.
a. The third-person point of view is an omniscient observer.b. The first-person point of view is voiced by the subjective Mr. Pontellier.c. The first-person point of view is an omniscient observer.d. The third-person point of view is voiced by the objective Doctor Mandelet.
Answer:
The statement that best describes the point of view in the excerpt is:
a. The third-person point of view is an omniscient observer.
Explanation:
We can safely eliminate options B and C, since there is no indication of a first-person narrator in the excerpt. For us to know it is a first-person narrator, first-person pronouns (I, we, us, our etc.) would have to be employed. We are, therefore, left with options A and D. Option D is impracticable. The excerpt - taken from the book "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin - talks of Doctor Mandelet. The narrator knows how the doctor feels. We are told he is tired of superficial social interactions. Still, that is not voiced by the Doctor himself. We have, thus, an omniscient third-person narrator, who knows of the characters' feelings, but remains anonymous.
A: The third-person point of view is an omniscient observer.
