Question

Which sentence contains an error in parallel structure?
A Builders need to be good at planning and calculating.
B My youngest brother is a singer, dancer, and paints.
D The resort's pool water was warm, salty, and soothing.
D Zoos should keep animals safe, healthy, and well-fed.

Answer 1

Answer: "B My youngest brother is a singer, dancer, and paints." is the sentence with the error.

Explanation: The reason why is because parallel sentences must stick with the form it started with. If all the other predicate adjectives are adjectives, then there cannot be a noun in the list of predicate adjectives. If the nouns end in -ing then all of other nouns in that list must end in -ing. All parallel sentences must stay in form with each other.

Answer 2

My youngest brother is a singer, dancer, and paints are the sentence that contains the error. Thus, option B is correct.

What is a sentence?

A sentence is a collection of words, phrases, and a clause. These sentences help to set meaning and create a sense of that a sentence. it consists of the subject on which the sentence is made and a predicate for the action which is done, performed, or happened.

The sentence about the youngest brother just shows the characteristics of the brother like singing, painting, and dancing but no other words were presented and all these words didn't even rhyme or create a sense of parallel structure among themselves like:  

1. planning and calculating,
2. safe, healthy, and well-fed.
3. The water was warm,  salty, and soothing

Therefore, option B is the correct option.
