In chapter 35, what does tom propose to do with a shirt he wants huck to borrow off the clothes line? a.) he wants to use it to disguise jim. b.) he wants aunt sally to think jim stole it. c.) he wants jim to keep a journal on it. d.) he wants to keep it for himself.

The answer is c.) He wants Jim to keep a journal on it.

"He said that would do.  And that gave him another idea, and he says:  

“Borrow a shirt, too.”  

“What do we want of a shirt, Tom?”  

“Want it for Jim to keep a journal on.”  

“Journal your granny—Jim can’t write.”  

“S’pose he can’t write—he can make marks on the shirt, can’t he, if we make him a pen out of an old pewter spoon or a piece of an old iron barrel-hoop?”  

“Why, Tom, we can pull a feather out of a goose and make him a better one; and quicker, too.”  "

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.
