Which sentence is an example of faulty parallelism? a turning sharply, gaining momentum, and to gently rise are a few surfing maneuvers. b individual surfboards very in length, width, and weight. c compared to short boards, long boards or longer, wider, and heavier. d in the competition, surfers are judged on the size of the wave and the difficulty of their maneuvers.

A Turning sharply, gaining momentum, and to gently rise are a few surfing maneuvers.

Parallelism is the use of elements that are grammatically the same, or similar in their construction or meaning. It is used to add rhythm to a sentence, increase clarity and make it more persuasive.

In this case, "turning sharply" and "gaining momentum" are both written in a progressive tense to make them into nouns, while "to gently rise" is using an infinitive. The correct version would be:

Turning sharply, gaining momentum, and gently rising are a few surfing maneuvers.

the answer is 'b' because the word 'attack' is a violent verb
