When Paul leased an apartment, he was under the impression that the rent covered all utilities. He was shocked when he learned that he was to pay bills for electricity, water, and garbage. The landlord says that all her tenants pay their own utilities and that Paul misunderstood. Paul doesn't have enough money to afford utilities and rent. What are Paul's options in this situation? Explain your answer.

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.

put the trash into the back of the truck and drive the truck to the back. then you must unload the truck.
