I am a bit confused about some of the parallelism concepts:
Q1. In this sentence: "Researchers have found a correlation between exercise and earning good grades."
According to the answer sheet: exercise has to be exercising to be parallel. However, we know that a gerund can be parallel to an action noun. Exercise is an action noun (the same as movement, destruction, etc.). Therefore, the sentence should technically be correct. Why is it marked as incorrect?
Q2. In a sentence in the Manhattan Prep book, the correct answer is: "She argues that the agency acts with reckless abandon and with disregard to human life and property."
Isn't repeating the 'WITH' redundant and unnecessary?
Wouldn't saying: ""She argues that the agency acts with reckless abandon and disregard to human life and property."" be better?
Q3. For correcting this sentence:
"Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than facing low salaries in the city."
Why is the correct answer: "choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than FACE low salaries."
And not: "choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than TO face low salaries."?
Q4. For correcting this sentence:
"The joint business venture will increase employee satisfaction and be improving relations between upper management and staff."
Why do we say: "will increase employee satisfaction and IMPROVE relations..."
Why not: "will increase employee satisfaction and WILL improve relations...
Q5. We are asked to correct this sentence:
"The consultant is looking for a cafe where there are comfortable chairs and that provides free internet access."
The correct answer is: "The consultant is looking for a care that has comfortable chairs and that provides free internet access."
My answer: "The consultant is looking for a cafe where there are comfortable chairs and free internet access."
Is my answer legit/correct?
