Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parallel writing uses similar structures to express similar words. This means that the sentence structure is consistent and balanced, which creates a sense of rhythm and flow in the writing. For example, "He likes to run, swim, and hike" is an example of parallel writing because each verb is in the same form (infinitive).
