Answer 1

Answer:

3. Tim's goals consist of running five miles a day, completing all of his homework on time, and practicing his violin.

Explanation:

It is the only one where the subject and verbs agree.

(parallel structure is when words in lists use the same agreement, such as the suffix -ing) Tim's goals consist of running five miles a day, completing all of his homework on time, and practicing his violin.

when you read these out loud you can often tell which one sounds correct, but if not, you can copy/paste into grammarly and it will tell you which one is correct.

have a lovely day :)
