Vance Powers grabbed the control stick. Up until now he had been a prisoner on this spaceship, but even the captain knew that Vance was the only one who could navigate through an asteroid belt. "Quick! Take
these laser cuffs off!" The captain and the guard looked at one another hesitantly. Boom! The ship
skidded off a large asteroid. "Now! Take the cuffs off! There's no time!" Vance shouted at the men |
The captain gave the guard a slight nod. The guard waved the magnetic key over the laser cuffs on
Vance's wrists. The cuffs powered down and fell off of Vance's wrists. Suddenly Vance had full control
of his arms again. Vance tested the movement of his arms by disarming the guard and slapping the laser
cuffs on him in one swift motion. Vance Powers was back.

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.
