Read the following question: How do descriptive and sensory language illustrate a soldier’s experience on the front? Evaluate the evidence below and sort the evidence into categories that could help you respond to the question. Identify one category to use in your response and two to three well-chosen pieces of evidence from that category. "The moon is shining. Along the road troops file. Their helmets gleam softly in the moonlight" (57). "I feel the whirl of the vortex sucking me slowly, irresistibly, inescapably into itself" (55). "Balls of light rise up high above it, silver and red spheres which explode and rain down in showers of red, white, and green stars" (58). "The dry bursts of the machine-guns rattle. Above us the air teems with invisible swift movement, with howls, pipings, and hisses" (59). "Earth with thy folds, and hollows, and holes, into which a man may fling himself and crouch down" (55). "[S]uddenly he throws himself down on the ground and a storm of fragments flies harmlessly over him" All quiet on the western front/

answer: could you give the examples?

explanation:

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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
