Question

Which sentence does not use parallel structure correctly? We neither had the money for a taxi nor were exactly sure where we were. We had neither the money for a taxi nor a good idea of exactly where we were. We neither had the money for a taxi nor knew exactly where we were. We had neither the money for a taxi nor were we exactly sure where we were.

Answer 1

The last one is correct
We had neither the money for a taxi nor were we exactly sure where we were
When using neither;;;;;nor, an interrogative form has to be used in the second part.-nor were we exactly sure,

Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence that doesn't use parallel structure correctly is:

We had neither the money for a taxi nor were we exactly sure where we were.

Explanation:

Parallel structure is the pattern used to express that two or more elements have the same level of importance. They are separated by coordinating conjunctions to do it. Like: and, or, nor, etc. In our case, the one that doesn't use it correctly is the last option because it doesn't follow the structure of a sentence. It is misspelled.

We had neither the money for a taxi. It is well written.

However: nor were we exactly sure where we were. This is misspelled because it uses two different subjects making it wrong because the first subject is not followed by a verb to explain their action, instead it is followed by an adjective.
