joshua read two transgression myths—myths in which a character violates an important societal rule.

in the first myth, the character who commits this transgression is killed by the gods. in the second myth, the character becomes the father of a cursed race of people.

joshua needs to compare and contrast these two myths. he has written that “transgressors are punished.” which of the following can be said to be true of this observation?

it applies to neither myth.

it applies to both myths.

it applies to the second myth only.

it applies to the first myth only.

The correct answer is B. It applies to both myths

Explanation:

A punishment refers to a negative consequence or penalty that is used in response to a behavior or action that goes against the norms, according to this in both of the myths read by Joshua the observation "transgressors are punished" can be applied, because in the case of the first myth there is a transgression or negative behavior and the punishment or penalty to this is death and in the second myth the transgressor is punished through a curse as he becomes the father of a cursed race. This shows in both cases individuals that broke the laws or norms or become transgressors receive a punishment, although the type of punishment is different in each case.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

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

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents 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 both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
