Question

read the sentence.
pet canaries need large cages, wooden perches, some fresh water, and keep out of cold.
which phrase should be revised for a more parallel sentence?
○ large cages
○ wooden perches
○ some fresh water
○ keep out of cold

Explanation:

To achieve parallelism, items in a list should have the same grammatical structure. "large cages", "wooden perches", and "some fresh water" are noun phrases, while "keep out of cold" is a verb phrase. Revising "keep out of cold" to a noun - phrase structure (e.g., "being kept out of cold" or a similar noun - based phrase) would make the sentence parallel.

Answer:

D. keep out of cold
