Question

complete the sentence.
badgers have huge foreclaws, ____________, and sometimes hunt cooperatively with larger animals such as coyotes.
powerful legs

have powerful legs

Explanation:

The sentence lists badgers' traits in parallel structure. The first trait is "huge foreclaws" (a noun phrase), and the third part describes a behavior. The blank needs a noun phrase to maintain parallelism with "huge foreclaws". "Powerful legs" is a noun phrase, while "have powerful legs" introduces a verb which breaks parallelism.

Answer:

powerful legs
