The following brief outline is an example of parallel structure, which is often recommended when developing an outline.

i. define or analyze the topic

ii. compare or contrast one aspect of the topic to another

iii. presenting an argument on one side of the topic

true

false

This statement is false!!!

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

In outlines and writing, parallelism implies using the same grammatical structure to write elements of the same importance, which facilitates the process of writing and also makes easier for the reader to understand a set of ideas. In the outline presented, there is a repetition of a grammatical structure in point i. and ii. as the author uses two verbs separated by the conjunction "or" as in "define or analyze" and "compare or contrast" however, this pattern is not continued in the third point in which the author uses a verb ending in -ing "presenting". Therefore, this outline does not show a parallel structure because all the elements are not presented using the same structure and therefore it is False this is an example of parallel structure recommended in outlines.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
