Paragraph 16. In the blackness, water continued to lap at Scoot's chin. She had settled against what had been the deck of the
galley alcove, her body in an upright position on debris.
Everything not tied down or in a locker was now between
the overhead ribs. Wooden hatch covers from the bilges
were floating in the water and the naked bilges were
exposed. Just aft of her body, and now above it, was the
small diesel engine as well as the batteries. Under the
water were cans of oil, one of them leaking. Battery acid
might leak, too. Few sailors could imagine the nightmare
that existed inside the Sea Dog. Scoot's pretty face was
splashed with engine oil.

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.
