Answer 1

The sentences that should be edited for parallel structure usage are:

1. Jeremy waited for the bus, decided to walk instead, and on his walk, he ran across an old friend.

   • This sentence mixes different structures ("waited," "decided," and "on his walk, he ran across") and should be revised for parallelism.

2. Hiking is great for exercising, getting fresh air, and to make connections with nature.

   • Here, "exercising" and "getting" are gerunds, while "to make" is an infinitive, creating a lack of parallel structure.

The other sentences maintain parallel structure correctly.
