Read the following sentence.
her mother always told her not to exclude anyone when playing games.
if the latin root claudere means “to shut” or “to close,” what does exclude mean?
a. to close on
b. to shut out
c. to shut in
d. to bring together

from: "the tragedy of julius caesar by william shakespeare: act 1 "

the correct answer is:

act 1 opens with the forum in celebration and ends with it in chaos.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
