Locate the infinitive. since it is used as a noun, determine its noun use. to tell a lie frustrates honest people. infinitive: use:

Infinitive: to tell.

Use: subject.

Explanation:

An infinitive is a verbal made up of to + verb form that can be used as a noun. In the sentence to tell a lie frustrates honest people, the inifinitive is to tell, and it is used as the subject of the sentence since to tell is the thing about whom the statement is made.

In this case, the noun infinitive is followed by a direct object (a lie,) but could also be followed by a predicate nominative, a predicate adjective or any other modifier.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

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

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have 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 all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )
