fragment

The kind of sentence error that is demonstrated by the excerpt "Overconfidence has cost us several games this year. For instance, our loss to a less experience team several weeks ago.

The sentence error is a fragment since there is no predicate in the second sentence as the only subject is our loss meaning there is no verb.

the answer is option

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.
