Which of the following sentences uses the participial phrase correctly? Janet followed her mother into the store squealing loudly. Janet squealed loudly and followed her mother into the large store. Squealing loudly, Janet followed her mother into the store. When Janet followed her mother into the store, she squealed loudly.

The answer is the second one.

Explanation:

I say this because the second one sounds more formal and makes more sense.

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.

1- cleans/ tidies up

2- were
