Any and all is appreciated.

what was krakauer's likely purpose for writing into the wild? (apex)

a. to develop a sense of authority on the subject of risk-takers and adventure-seekers

b. to allow others to learn through mccandless's story

c. to encourage the exploration of alaska and other wild frontiers

d. to provide an intriguing and mysterious story for the general public

B

Explanation:

McCandless was smart, had done his research on living in Alaska and sustaining his life off nature. He learned to hunt, but had little experience. Krackauer's purpose for the book was to bring the reader's attention to the fact that one can never be prepared enough for being alone in an environment that is unforgiving and cruel to the inexperienced, not listening to others like his good friends, and waiting too long before trying to seek help because he was stubborn.

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.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
