Select the correct answer. This is a news article. Which of the following is an option?

Al Smith, the owner of Smith Construction, has been sued by
two former clients. The two claim that Smith took money for
work he didn't complete. He left jobs half finished, and the jobs
he did finish failed to meet code requirements.
Smith is a well-respected citizen of Lawndale. He has never
been sued before. "The charges against me are false." Smith
said. "I did all the work I was paid for. And I did it well. The two
clients changed their building plans after I had already started
work on their home. I told them that the added work and
materials would cost extra, but they refused to pay."
The two clients, John and Bev Crown, admit they changed the
plans. But they believe Smith should refund their money. "We
signed a contract that allowed us to make changes to our plans.
Al Smith didn't hold up his end of the bargain. He owes us a full
refund."
A court date has been set for Tuesday.

B) The charges against Al Smith are false.

Explanation:

The rest of the answer choices are not opinions and are stated in the text.

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 purpose of a nonfiction text is to give the text a rap up. for example, when i say : frogs are interesting animals is an ending. then when i say: frogs are unique in different ways. that is an intro.
