Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild. From every hill slope came the trickle of running water, the music of unseen fountains. All things were thawing, bending, snapping. The Yukon was straining to break loose the ice that bound it down. It ate away from beneath; the sun ate from above. Air-holes formed, fissures sprang and spread apart, while thin sections of ice fell through bodily into the river. And amid all this bursting, rending, throbbing of awakening life, under the blazing sun and through the soft-sighing breezes, like wayfarers to death, staggered the two men, the woman, and the huskies. Which phrases best use descriptive language to help readers hear what is happening in the scene? the trickle of running water; soft-sighing breezes All things were thawing; thin sections of ice fell The Yukon was straining; under the blazing sun the ice that bound it down; staggered the two men

"soft-sighing breezes All things were thawing"

Explanation:

The question asks which phrase helps the reader HEAR what is happening, so that rules out "thin sections of ice fell The Yukon was staining," "under the blazing sun the ice that bound it down," and "staggering two men."

That leaves "The trickle of running water" and "soft-sighing breezes All things were thawing. Although "the trickle..." is good, "soft-sighing breezes..." is excellent.

correct A. the trickle of running water; soft-sighing breezes

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

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

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents 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 both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

the text includes parts of primary-source interviews with enslaved people to illustrate the difficulty of life on a sugar plantation in louisiana.
