which sentence or sentences have correct parallel structure?\n\non most saturday and sunday afternoons, you will find my mother either in her garden or at the library.\n\non most saturday and sunday afternoons, you will find my mother in either her garden or at the library.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Parallel structure requires that coordinate conjunctions (like "either... or") connect words or phrases of the same grammatical form.

  1. In the first sentence, "either" is followed by a prepositional phrase ("in her garden") and "or" is followed by a prepositional phrase ("at the library"). This is grammatically balanced and correct.
  2. In the second sentence, "either" is followed by a noun phrase ("her garden") while "or" is followed by a prepositional phrase ("at the library"). This is unbalanced because the preposition "in" only applies to the first location, making the structure non-parallel.

Answer:

On most Saturday and Sunday afternoons, you will find my mother either in her garden or at the library.
