Based on this excerpt from "the way to rainy mountain" by n. scott momaday, what can you infer was not a prominent part of the author's culture?

their wives and daughters served them well. the women might indulge themselves; gossip was at once the mark and compensation of their servitude. they made loud and elaborate talk among themselves, full of jest and gesture, fright and false alarm. they went abroad in fringed and flowered shawls, bright beadwork and german silver. they were at home in the kitchen, and they prepared meals that were banquets.

elaborately made traditional clothing

food in cultural celebrations

men and women adhering to traditional gender roles

men cooking holiday meals

it is correct the men cooking holiday meals

the central idea of the above passage is following;

central idea: cultural study is very important specially archaeology. grimm's stories very well cater to the importance of cultural relevance.

explanation:

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.
