I was watching Ron Purewal's video and came across the following sentence that he used as an example (incorrect/correct type question) of a correct parallelism.
"This student cheats on exams by copying other student's answers and steals food from the school cafeteria"
I understand that parallel object #1 is "cheats on exam by copying other student's answers" and object #2 is "steals food from the school cafeteria"
However, the following is where I have confusion..
Isn't object 1 structure -> verb + prep + obj of prep and,
object 2 structure -> verb + main object + prep
Is what I am referring to object1's obj of prep actually the main object?
TIA

Don't over-complicate parallelism. CHEATS is parallel to STEAL. Both the verbs indicate actions. The sentence is fine!
It is not essential that the full verb phrases be parallel. And in this sentence it is not really easy to make them parallel. There's no need to force them into a parallel form.
But see this sentence: Tommy baked a cake for his mother and bought a football for his daughter.
The parallelism happens naturally here.

CHEATS and STEAL both are in Simple Present tense, as well as in active voice verb form.
There is no issue with Parallelism here.
