Explanation:

A clause is a group of words consisting of subject and predicate. It is a unit of grammatical organization that is ranked below the sentence. There are two types of clauses: dependent clauses and independent clauses. Although both types of clauses contain subject and verb, dependent clauses cannot convey the complete meaning, while independent clauses can give complete meaning and can stand alone as a sentence. Therefore, an independent clause can be defined as a group of words containing both subject and verb and expresses complete thought.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

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

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have 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 all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
