3. At the start of a collaborative discussion, three out of four students had very similar ideas about the theme of a story. Which of the following is the best way for the group to proceed?

Decide that the majority's
opinion should represent the group.

Seek out additional opinions from other discussion groups.

Ask the student who disagrees to explain his point of view.

Agree to disagree, since all readers view stories differently.

The logical answer is to seek out additional opinions from other group by doing that it can give more ideas, then everyone should decide on which idea to vote on, if that idea fails to be picked by the majority then ask the students who disagree explaint thier view point. The point here is that all students must feel like they have contributed something to the group so they don't feel guilty.

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.

the answer is b "spewing black smoke", i took the test and got 100%   hope i
