A. gray and white bones, shining pebbles, and discarded plastic figurines and bottle caps: Correct. Notice that all the entities are noun phrases. They all start with adjective followed by a noun. Yes, all the adjectives are different in structure – “gray” and “white” are colors, “shining” has “ing” construction, and “discarded” ends with “ed”. But all these three entities are adjectives because all these three expressions modify their following nouns. Hence, despite being different in structure, all these noun entities are parallel to each other because all the starting words act as adjectives, no matter what form they are in.
B. grayed and white bones, shined pebbles, and discarded plastic figurines and bottle caps: Incorrect. “shining” is the correct adjective to precede a noun entity.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Shraddha
Hi Shraddha, Thanks for the article. I have a query regarding the first question. Howcome the list is using "and" twice. The parallel structure in choice A looks like - A, B, and C and D. Shouldn't it rather be A,B,C and D. Am I missing something? Please let me know. Thanks
