None of the sentences below are parallel, either in terms of grammar or logic. Revise each sentence in the text box so it is parallel. You may need to change some of the wording to fix logic issues. 

Please note, because parallel structure can deal with style and grammar rules, there may be multiple parallel revision options although you will see only one option after you submit each response. Compare your revision to the one provided and determine if one is more effective.

You must respond to each question before the AGG response will be displayed. After you submit each response, you will see the AGG response, but you won’t be able to see your response until the end. After the quiz, you will be able to review the summary of responses including the original sentence, your own response and the AGG revision.This quiz has 10 questions.

Example: Making friends in class can help you create connections in case you need to copy notes or clarification on something you might have missed.

Revision: Making friends in class can help you create connections in case you need to copy notes or clarify something you might have missed. (Explanation: changed “clarification” to its verb form, “clarify,” to make it parallel to the verb “copy.” Both are now verbs.)
