Which of the following options demonstrates correct sentence structure?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parallel ideas are those that have the same level of importance within a sentence. In order to show this, we need to use parallel structure. Depending on the sentence, we may need to use parallel words, phrases, or clauses (this means that the words, phrases, or clauses use the same grammatical structure). Typically, we join parallel structures with conjunctions such as "and" and "or."
In this case, we need to make sure that the use of verbs joined by a coordinating conjunction in the sentence maintains a parallel structure. The use of "to" in "to do" requires that the verb "talk" also have a "to" in front of it. Basically, the forms of all the verbs in the sentence must match.
All of the other answer choices use different forms of verbs within the sentence, so they do not have a parallel structure.
