The question ""do first-person-shooter video games cause players to commit violent crimes? "" illustrates what type of persuasive speech claim?

This question illustrates a factual persuasive speech claim.

Explanation:

A factual claim is meant to trigger an argument on whether the assertion is true or false. In this case, the person posing the question is trying to persuade the audience to think likewise and agree that video games cause violence.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
