Question

Which sentence is written using parallel structure?

a. The choir director asked student to study the new music, practice at least an hour a day, and hopes they will be better prepared next time
b. The student petition asked for additional funding, a delayed school start, and will promote teacher recruitment ideas
c. The committee met to discuss budgeting issues, recruiting new volunteers, and end-of-year celebration plans
d. The local humane society wrote on editorial asking for volunteers to help walk the dogs, clean cages, and they also wanted help at the front desk.

Answer 1

The sentence that uses parallel structure is:

**c. The committee met to discuss budgeting issues, recruiting new volunteers, and end-of-year celebration plans.**

In this sentence, all elements of the list follow a similar grammatical structure ("to discuss," "recruiting," and "end-of-year"), maintaining a consistent format. The other options do not have consistent grammatical structures across their items.
