Read the excerpt from "healthy eating." fourteen years ago, juanita ferguson, 55, had a kidney transplant. so she watched what she ate and always included fruits and vegetables in her diet. but it was the finer points that ferguson, a supervisor in the respiratory care department at baptist, was missing. she bought honey wheat bread, not realizing that at her age she needed much more fiber. she was unaware of her carb intake. and she had no idea that on weekends, when she was completing chores and running errands, forgetting to eat was causing problems. the author suggests in this excerpt that older people know less than others about what they should be eating. older people make poor food choices that cause life-threatening illnesses. it is usually easy for people to figure out what types of food to eat. it is important for people to be informed about what their bodies need.

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.

that they just take and use up resources all the time
