Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The ropes are intended to hold and stretch to death the individual who lay down on the waterbed.

Explanation:

The question presented above refers to "The Lightning Thief" written by Rick Riordan, where we are introduced to Percy Jackson a boy who is Poseidon's son with a human, becoming a demigod. Percy is accused of stealing one of Zeus' lightning bolts and needs, along with his friends, to find a way to prove his innocence.

While reading this story, we are introduced to a character named Crusty, who owns a waterbed shop. Crusty, in fact, is a cruel and dishonest sorcerer, who tricks customers into trying out the waterbeds. When customers get down on waterbeds, Crusty shouts the word "Ergo," which causes huge ropes to come out from under the waterbed, trap customers and stretch them to death.

Need some help with english....Which of these lacks parallel structure? Lauren is intelligent, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor. Lauren loves flying airplanes, riding roller coasters, and showing horses. Lauren dropped off her library books and visited her grandmother. Lauren has been to the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the Freedom Tower.

Answers

Lauren is intelligent, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor.

Parallel structure means that you can remove the other elements in the list and the sentence would still make sense. Lauren is has a great sense of humor, doesn't make sense. It therefore lacks parallel structure.
I think the 2nd sentence lacks parallel structure.
She loves flying airplanes,riding roller coasters and showing horses.
The first two are physical  and leisure activities but the last isn't.

As the author is a part of a society that in a way or another influences the way he creates his identity, its easy to say his creation also projects the American identity

The correct answer is A: American literature often portrays aspects of the American identity.
