Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of the gerund "supporting" is incorrect, and it should be substituted by "support" to respect this sentence's parallel structure. Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance. This can happen at the word, phrase, or clause level. The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as and or or.
