Well parallelism is the most often tested topic on SC section of the GMAT. So, it is natural to have a higher level of interest in it. And apparently it isn't that tough to master. With my head stuffed with these notions I dived into the Manhattan GMAT SC book. The basic section went well but in the advanced section I was hit by this topic that I found confusing. Being a visual learner I like fewer words and more visual aids. So I tried to boil down that mammoth mass of confusion to a couple of diagrams and three simple rules. Here they are, hopefully It'll help some confused soul.
Noun can be divided into three categories:
1- Concrete Nouns: These are names of people, places, things and events.
e.g. Doctor, Planet, Cup, Weekday etc
2- Action Nouns: As the name suggests Action Nouns refer to actions.
e.g. Pollution, Nomination, Growth etc.
3- Gerunds: The –ing form of a Noun.
e.g. Hunting, Sleeping, drinking etc.
