Thanks for your wonderful explanation
daagh.
just to clarify, we
ARE allowed to
parallel two participial (past or present) in a participial phrase to modify subject, correct?
C. written with natural inks and imitatingin this case
written || imitating is acceptable, evidently.
One more follow up question, does similar parallelism rule apply for absolute phrase/modifier?
Thanks

Hello
TheRzS,
Thank you for the query.

The entities that perform the same function in the sentence can make a parallel list. Structurally, they may not look identical, but because they perform the same function in the sentence, they become part of the same list.
Same is the case with this
e-GMAT sentence in which
written, a verb-ed modifier, is perfectly parallel to
imitating, a verb-ing modifier, because both modifiers modify the same noun entity
Mohican inscriptions on stone tablets.
At
e-GMAT, we call such lists Imperfect Lists because the parallel elements in such lists structurally do not appear similar. In fact, we have an elaborate article on the same topic that contains many official examples of such questions that have "imperfect parallel list". This article named
e-gmat Article - Parallelism: Imperfect List can be viewed in clicking on the following link:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/parallelism-imperfect-list-142791.html I would also be glad to help you with the other follow up question. Can you please elaborate a bit more on the same, preferably with a reference sentence, so that I can provide you relevant information?
Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Shraddha
