Question

independent practice
which statement uses parallel structure?
a. our service is fast, friendly, and affordable.
b. our prices cannot be beat anywhere.
c. our office is always open, twenty - four hours a day.
d. our customers like good prices, movies, and listening to good music.

Explanation:

Parallel structure uses grammatically identical forms in a list. Option A uses three descriptive adjectives (fast, friendly, affordable) to modify "service", creating consistent parallel structure. The other options lack this grammatical consistency: B has no list, C pairs a general claim with a specific detail without parallel form, and D mixes unrelated noun/gerund phrases that do not follow parallel grammatical structure.

Answer:

A. Our service is fast, friendly, and affordable.
