Question

Read the sentence.

Margot prefers the action of a hockey game to watching ice skating performances.

Which revision corrects the faulty parallelism in the sentence?

Margot prefers watching a hockey game to watching ice skating performances.

Margot doesn’t like watching ice skating performances but hockey games.

Margot prefers watching active hockey games to the boredom of ice skating performances.

Answer 1

Well there's only two that doesn't make sense

Answer 2

That's for u to figure out tho

Answer 3

Margot prefers the action of a hockey game to watching ice skating performances.

in this sentence structure (prefers ___ to ___), both blanks must be parallel (have the same structure)

notice how the two items being compared are:
- "the action of a hockey game"
- "watching ice skating performances"

this lacks parallelism as the first one is a noun and the second is a verb/gerund

try changing them *both* to a noun phrase, or *both* to the gerund form to fix the paralellism
