Why does lake say his son will respond “13” when asking how many months are in a year ?
a. because the american indian calendar counts 13 full moons in a year
b. because he is slow learner and is unable to count past the number 10
c. because in the american indian culture, there is no word for the number 12
d. because he has never learned to count and hasn’t been taught the name of the months

Explanation:

Native American Calendars were nor determined by specific numbers, but with specific seasons, that's why the used the moon to measure periods of time, like months. Not every American Tribe had the same calendar, there were several variations, but northern tribes, New England's and Cree Tribes tend to count 13 moon, meaning 13 months.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

gurl whut are you saying lol
