Question
Which sentence or sentences have correct parallel structure?On most Saturday and Sunday afternoons, you will find my mother in either her garden or at the library.On most Saturday and Sunday afternoons, you will find my mother either in her garden or at the library.Submit
Solution
The sentence with correct parallel structure is: "On most Saturday and Sunday afternoons, you will find my mother either in her garden or at the library."
In this sentence, the parallel structure is maintained by placing "either" before "in her garden" and using "or" before "at the library". This ensures that the two activities (being in her garden and being at the library) are given equal importance and are grammatically balanced.
The first sentence is incorrect because "either" is placed before "her garden" but "at the library" is not parallel to "her garden". It would be parallel if it was "either in her garden or in the library".
