Clarisa is reading an article about a middle school boy who is raising money for his school’s sports department. She remembers hearing an interview about a middle school student in a different country who is raising money to fix his school’s roof.

How does she establish a text-to-world connection?

A) by using direct experience to relate to what the boy is doing
B)by using background knowledge to help her understand the text
C)by remembering reading about this same story in a newspaper
D)by remembering hearing a similar story that happened elsewhere

B

Explanation:

Because Clarisa is using what she heard out of what she was reading and she connected it to what she was reading in the newspaper

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.
