Hello all,
Please clarify the use of 'that' in the context of parallelism ambiguity.
The lighthouse down by the bay overlooks both a vast stretch of coastline and a number of fisheries that are owned by the local government.
Here 'that' could either be referring to coastline and fisheries or just fisheries. How would you clear up this sentence?
Would this be correct? 'are' after coastline can't just refer to the singular so it must be referring to both:
The lighthouse down by the bay overlooks both a number of fisheries and a vast stretch of coastline that are owned by the local government.
Can 'that' also create ambiguity at the start of a parallel structure?
I believe that I will win and James will win the title.
In this case, it's either you believe in two things or you could be stating two independent clauses.
I guess the simple way to ask all this is how do I use 'that' in parallelism without creating ambiguity - is it even possible?
