Lisa read Caroline more excerpts from the speech she recently made to the school board about nutrition. Lisa had adapted the speech for the school board, which was mostly made up of volunteers interested in town politics and their local school system. She had given different versions of the speech before to pediatricians and primary care practitioners within the hospital network, and to local public health officials who were developing and implementing city public health programs aimed at children and families. Select the term that is used incorrectly in the scenario below: Lisa adapted her topic based on the analysis of her audience's demographics. Her aim was to identify with the audience's perspective and ensure that she decoded her message in a way that her audience could understand easily. She created a theoretical imagined audience in order to practice her speech before changing it each time. a. analysis
b. demographics
c. perspective
d. decoded
e. message
f. theoretical

D.

Explanation:

The word wrongly used in the given scenario is decoded.

The term 'decode' means to convert a coded message into understandable language. The term also refers to recognizing and interpreting signals into language.

In the given scenario, the term decoded does not fit correctly, as it is not able to bring out the right meaning of the text.

Therefore, option D is correct.

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.

for me, balancing all your work/homework is the hardest part in high school and the exams.
