All of the following are parallel in structure with “crying over the loss of my boyfriend” except .

A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon

B) texting all of my girl friends

C) eating all the ice cream in the freezer

D) listening to my collection of sad music

The correct answer is option A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon.

Explanation:

If you pay attention, all the options, including the example, contain verbs ending in ing.

Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.

Words ending in ing can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending ing used as a gerund, where the verb is used as if it were a noun.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
