Question

"When Jorge got home, he turned on the lights and was horrified to see someone had broken a window, ransacked his living room, and his television was missing."

Which underlined part of the sentence, if any, contains an error?
A.
No error
B.
broken a window
C.
his television was missing
D.
ransacked his living room

Answer 1

C

The list after "to see" should be parallel. The first two items are actions by "someone" ("had broken," "ransacked"), so the third should be an action too — e.g. "stolen his television" — rather than the nonparallel "his television was missing."
