Why is the following an example of parallel structure:

Toni went to the sporting goods store to buy socks, shoes, and soccer balls

Answer and Explanation:

Parallel structure in sentences is when the list of items is organized and written in the same way. For example, if a sentence was written “I like to play basketball, play soccer, and play volleyball”, this is in parallel structure because each item is of the form “play ”.

Here, this is parallel structure because each item is by itself, without being preceded by a verb, except for the very first one, which is allowed because that verb “buy” will apply to every item following.

That’s why this is parallel structure.

Explanation:

He went to buy socks

He went to buy shoes

He went to buy soccer balls

Socks, shoes and soccer balls.. all three are nouns (same grammatical structure)

glamis thou art, and cawdor; and shalt be what thou art promis'd; yet do i fear thy nature; it is too full o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great; art not without ambition; but without the illness should attend it. what thou wouldst highly, that wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, and yet wouldst wrongly win: thou'dst have, great glamis, that which cries, "thus thou must do, if thou have it: and that which rather thou dost fear to do than wishest should be undone." hie thee hither, that i may pour my spirits in thine ear; and chastise with the valor of my tongue all that impedes thee from the golden round, which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crown'd withal.
