B. Explore
Read the short passage below and underline the parts that exhibit
parallel structure. Rewrite sentences that do not follow proper
parallelism.
Process Questions:
How does parallel structure improve sentence clarity?
What common errors can lead to faulty parallelism?
C. Explain
Parallel structure (also known as parallelism) is the repetition of a
chosen grammatical form within a sentence. Using the same pattern
of words ensures clarity and balance.
Examples:
Incorrect: She likes to swim, jogging, and dance.

D. Elaborate
Group Activity: In groups of four, analyze the given paragraph and
identify instances of faulty parallelism. Rewrite the paragraph to
ensure parallel structure is correctly applied. Afterward, present
your revised version to the class and explain the changes made.
Sample Activity:
1. Each group receives a short paragraph with multiple faulty
parallelism errors.
2. Members collaboratively identify the errors and suggest
corrections.
3. One representative writes the revised version on the board.
4. The class discusses the changes and why they improve clarity
and coherence.
5. Groups reflect on how applying parallelism enhances writing
quality.
