I'm the audio media peice "what you don't see," the narrator explains all of the terrible things that have happened to him as a result of drunk driving. what is the effect of this strategy on your beliefs about drunk driving? the listener is more likely to think that drunk driving is ill-advised and risky because the narrator is a man the listener will assume that men are more likely to drive drunk because the narrator is young the listener will assume that younger people are more likely to drive drunkthe listener is more likely to think the narrator is a loser

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.
