Is that a parallel structure in GMAT land:
Humans can walk, jump, run, covering many miles, and swim.
Or do we have to remove the modifying phrase “covering many miles" to make the sentence correct?

Or to make a true // structure we MUST eliminate the participle “covering many miles”, which modifies a verb “to run”? IMO, "Humans can walk, jump, run, covering many miles, and swim" is corretly parallel. “Covering many miles” is a modifying phrase and modifies the verb “run”.

Humans can walk, jump, run, covering many miles, and swim. is the example above (with a modifying phrase) a parallel structure or the modifying phrase makes the sentence wrong?

In terms of gmat grammer, imo, the sentence is correct and parallel.
