Parallelism- The employees were upset.... [#permalink] New post   29 Jul 2014, 12:46
"The Employees were upset by the company's low pay, poor working condition, and they do not have enough outlets for their creativity."

In this MGMAT SC question why is company's counted across all the 3 elements?

Can we
i) Count an adjective across a parallelism?
ii) Count an adverb across a parallelism?

What all can we count across a parallelism?

Thanks
:)

Dear qwerty12321,

Almost anything can be parallel - Not only from nouns, noun phrases, to prepositional phrases But also from relative to independent clauses.
So answer to both the questions - YES

Hope it helps :)

buddy, sorry...I forgot to mention...

if parallelism is bugging u....just chill. forget all the nuances of grammar.....and just have a look at the video on PARALLELISM...from vimeo mgmat."thursdays with ron".....he has simply dissected the concept......I can vouch, it will be worth.

hope that helps.

I assume you are asking if "company's" can possess all three items? Yes, in this example (that appears to be incorrect) the company can possess all three items. One way to rewrite the sentence would be: "The Employees were upset by the company's low pay, poor working condition, and insufficient outlets for creativity."

Numbered for clarity: "The Employees were upset by the company's 1) low pay, 2) poor working condition, and 3) insufficient outlets for creativity."
