repeating the conunctions, relatives, and to infinitive
Should I repeat the underlined part just to make the sentence parallel? Sometimes I see the repeationg of the same conjunction , relative pronouns, and to infinitive, but sometimes I dont'. What is the rule?
Eating a diet of fodds that supply inadqute nutrients and that contains hight amounts of .... leads to weight gain. ( should I repeat the secone that or can I go without repeating the second that, such as
........... that supply inadqute nutrients and contains higher amounts of...
Also, should I repeat becasue in the following sentence?
Failing to exercise because they do not have enough time or because( should I repet this because?) they find it boring is probably the biggest problem.
Also, can take out the secone to ?
They fail to exercise and be activie or
They fail to exercise and to be active.
( which one is correct?)
