Question

complete the sentence.

once our dog teddy spied the rabbit, he scrambled under the fence, through the recently planted garden, and _______________ in pursuit of it.

past the garage

raced past the garage

Explanation:

To complete the sentence, we need a verb phrase that is parallel in structure to "scrambled under the fence" and "through the recently planted garden" (where "scrambled" and the implied action for the garden are verbs). "Raced past the garage" has the verb "raced" which is parallel to "scrambled" in terms of tense and action - describing the dog's movement. "Past the garage" is a prepositional phrase and lacks a verb, so it doesn't fit the parallel structure.

Answer:

raced past the garage
