Question

Help with Parallel Structure

Answer 1

(1) Dear Peggy,

(2) I’ve read your advice column for years and trust your opinion in any situation. (3) I hope you will give me your feedback on a problem that I’m having with my mother.
(4) I’m 15 years old and live most of the time with my mother. (5) My mother is supportive, positive, and cares for others. (6) My only complaint about her is that she embarrasses me in public. (7) She has an odd way of dressing that makes people stare. (8) She is easily recognized by her brightly colored pants and looking at her mismatched socks. (9) She also has a habit of dancing in public any time she hears music. (10) My favorite clothing store plays rock and pop over the speakers. (11) My mom will bob her head, sway her hips, and pump her arms right there between the racks.
(12) I’ve talked to my mother about her clothes and her dancing, but she won’t listen to me. (13) She says that she just wants to be herself and that I shouldn’t care so much about what other people think. (14) What do you think I should do?
