<p>I know that sentences should be parallel in structure. But I do not get the differences between the two following sentences:</p>
<li><p>In science, in art, in government, and in finance, creativity dominated the Renaissance.</p></li>
<li><p>In science, art, government, and finance, creativity doominated the Renaissance.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Is there any difference in these two sentences?</p>
<p>anyone please answer.</p>
<p>The first is parallel because of the repeated use of "in". The other is just a list.</p>
<p>The anaphora of the "in"s allows for parallel structure, while at the same time emphasizing the magnitude of creativity's importance.</p>
<p>But the second sentence is also parallel because it uses only nouns within the list. In other words, we would not be able to write: In art, literature, and riding a motorcycle because the last part is a gerund and not just a single noun.</p>
