Which sentence uses italics or quotation marks correctly? a. our local metropolitan newspaper is called "the houston chronicle." b. she enjoyed rudyard kipling's exciting short story rikki-tikki-tavi. c. here is the latest issue of the magazine good housekeeping. d. in 1927, charles lindbergh made a solo flight across the atlantic in his single-engine airplane, the sprit of st. louis.

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.
