Sure, I can help you with that.The principle of parallelism is a crucial strategy for tackling Parallelism Questions on the Digital SAT English Section. Parallelism is all about ensuring that similar ideas or elements within a sentence are expressed using the same grammatical form. This creates a balance and consistency in the sentence structure, making it more coherent and easier to understand.For example, let’s consider the following sample question:The manager asked the employees to arrive on time, to work efficiently, and that they should take a lunch break.
In this sentence, the first two elements, “arrive on time” and “work efficiently,” are expressed using the infinitive form (“to arrive,” “to work”). However, the third element, “they should take a lunch break,” is expressed using a different grammatical structure (a clause with a subject and a verb). To maintain parallelism, the sentence should be revised to:The manager asked the employees to arrive on time, to work efficiently, and to take a lunch break.
By ensuring that all the similar elements are expressed in the same grammatical form (the infinitive), the sentence becomes more balanced and consistent, making it easier for the reader to understand and process the information.Recognizing and applying the principle of parallelism is crucial in the Digital SAT English Section, as it helps you identify and correct any instances where the sentence structure is not consistent or balanced. By understanding and applying this strategy, you can improve your performance on Parallelism Questions and enhance your overall communication skills.
