OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The Chartres cathedral, situated about 80 kilometers outside of Paris, demonstrates superb artistry in the fashioning of stone, iron, wood, and working with glass, and is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in France.
A. The Chartres cathedral, situated about 80 kilometers outside of Paris, demonstrates superb artistry in the fashioning of stone, iron, wood, and working with glass, and is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in France
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The first three items in the list are nouns (stone, iron, wood), but the third item is an unconjugated verb (working).
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: A list of 3 items or more, separated by commas and and/or before the last item.
B. Situated about 80 kilometers outside of Paris, the Chartres cathedral demonstrates superb artistry in the fashioning of stone, iron, wood, and glass, and are considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the parallelism error in the original sentence, it creates another grammatical mistake. The singular subject the Chartres cathedral does not agree with the plural verb are.
C. Situated about 80 kilometers outside of Paris, the Chartres cathedral demonstrates superb artistry in the fashioning of stone, iron, wood, and glass, and is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in France
This answer choice corrects the parallelism error in the original sentence by eliminating the redundant word working and forming a list of four nouns: stone, iron, wood, and glass.
D. Situated about 80 kilometers outside of Paris, the Chartres cathedral demonstrates superb artistry in the fashioning of stone, iron, wood, and working with glass, and is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect and repeats the original mistake. The first three items in the list are nouns (stone, iron, wood), but the third item is an unconjugated verb (working).
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: A list of 3 items or more, separated by commas and and/or before the last item.
E. The Chartres cathedral, situated about 80 kilometers outside of Paris, demonstrates superb artistry in the fashioning of stone, iron, and wood, and in the fashioning of glass, and is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in France
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Parallelism error, it does so in an awkward and redundant way. The phrase and in the fashioning of glass is wordy.
