Climate change has definitely arrived in the Pacific Northwest. In the first two weeks of June alone, here in Portland, Oregon, we were deluged with 4.21 inches of rain, breaking the 1984 record of 4.06 inches. On June 21, the first official day of summer, it was a chilly 59 degrees, and the sun didn't peek out until 7:30 at night. I've loved living here for the past 20 years, and I've never minded the wet stuff, but this is ridiculous—it's enough to make me want to move to Arizona. There is moss on the north sides of telephone poles and on my car, and a damp chill has invaded my bones. At this rate, we'll be a temperate rainforest in no time, with a groundcover of ferns and lichen. How does the author support his or her point of view in this selection?
A.
by stating the opinion that so much rain is ridiculous
B.
by providing statistics of the record rainfall
C.
by proving that he or she is an authority on weather
D.
by quoting experts on the subject of climate change

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.

second person

explanation:

note the heavy uses of "you", "your", as well as "he".
