Read the sentence.
Pet canaries need large cages, wooden perches, some fresh water, and keep out of cold.
Which phrase should be revised for a more parallel sentence?
A. large cages
B. wooden perches
C. some fresh water
D. keep out of cold
Answer (2)
To improve the sentence's parallelism, the phrase "keep out of cold" should be revised. All items in the list should match structurally, as they are all noun phrases. Changing it to something like "and a place to stay warm" will maintain the parallel structure. ;
The phrase 'keep out of cold' should be revised for better parallelism in the sentence. It does not match the noun phrase structure of the other items. A suggestion for revision could be 'and a place to keep warm.'
