Explanation:

In the "Woman Who Helped Hide Anne Frank Dies At 100", a look back at an interview of Miep Gies by National Pulic Radio's correspondent Teri Schultz, the two revisited the memories of how the diary of Anne came into being.

In the interview, Gies recounts how she had hoped to see Anne come back from the concentration camp and thank her for keeping hr diary safe and intact. But "that day would never come" for she had died in the camp and only her father Otto Frank survived.

The simple and best way to summarize the excerpt is to say that Otto survived the camps while Anne didn't.

closer examination, however, finds the mcdonald's kind of job highly uneducational in several ways. far from providing opportunities for entrepreneurship (the lemonade stand) or self- discipline, self-supervision, and self-scheduling (the paper route), most teen jobs these days are highly structured — what social scientists call “highly routinized.”  

true, you still have to have the gumption to get yourself over to the hamburger stand, but once you don the prescribed uniform, your task is spelled out in minute detail.  

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have 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 all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
