Parallelism
Hi.
Topic: Faulty parallelism
Could you tell me if this sentence is correct?
The students in this class should either take freshman writing or have earned advanced placement on the assessment test.
Top answer
It's weird. Of course there is faulty parallelism, but other questions arise. Should the students in this class take freshman writing concurrently with taking this class, or after taking this class?
