Which sentence contains a subordinate clause? a) it is dangerous to drive a boat too fast after it gets dark. b) the boys were adamant about traveling to the lake before the rain began. c) we didn't realize that the dock was hot, so the bottoms of our feet got burned. d) unless the weather forecast changes, we will not be traveling to the lake tomorrow.

The answer is D) Unless the weather forecast changes, we will not be traveling to the lake tomorrow.

The subordinate clause above is introduced by a subordinate conjunction, "unless". The idea expressed in it depends on the idea expressed by the main clause to make complete sense. In this case, we can ask the question: what will or won't happen unless the weather forecast changes? The answer to this question will be the main clause. Without it, the information given by the subordinate clause will sound incomplete.

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.

in   ¨and yet the books¨   by czelaw miloz the tone is positive since it tells us that when we touch a book, it starts to live and the perspective is in the third person and turns once into the first person. in "the rhinoceros" by eugene ionesco the tone is illogical and absurd   and the perspective is in the third person since it is a play.
