Read these lines from the excerpt again: "gregor," somebody called—it was his mother—"it's quarter to seven. didn't you want to go somewhere? "what does this line reveal about gregor? gregor loves his mother. gregor has had a regular life. gregor likes being a bug. gregor does not want to leave.

I believe the answer is "Gregor has had a normal life" because it doesn't say anything about his reaction.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
