Editor's Notes
- #24: In the list of talents that Toni Gonzaga has, two items are gerunds, or verbs being used as nouns ("singing" and "acting"), whereas "being a host" is a phrase. Thus, "being a host" does not fit with the parallel structure, and should be changed to "hosting.”
- #25: You are correct! The answer is “boss”, it is the error in the sentence. Explanation: Only like things can be compared. "My apartment" can be compared to "that of my boss" or my "boss”
- #26: In the example above the first part of the sentence, not only, joins the verb wanted. While the second part, but also, joins the direct object face masks. To achieve parallel structure, you must join two elements of the same grammatical level.
