creating parallel structure\nwhen lamar realized that his sister expected him to help her practice the piano, he ______, claimed to have homework, and climbed the steps to his bedroom.\nwhich clause completes the sentence by creating parallelism?\n○ grabs his book bag\n○ did grab his book bag\n○ grabbed his book bag\n○ grabbing his book bag

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To create parallelism, the verb tense in the blank should match the other verbs in the sentence ("claimed", "climbed"), which are in the simple past tense. "Grabbed" is also in the simple past tense, so it maintains parallel structure.

Answer:

C. grabbed his book bag (assuming the options are labeled with letters, with the third option being "grabbed his book bag")
