<ol>
<li>ALERTED BY the nervousness and evasiveness of the witness, the jurors were quick TO PERCEIVE that his statements were INCONSISTENT TO (C) THOSE (D) he had made earlier.</li>

<li>The revolt against Victorianism was perhaps even more marked in poetry than (EITHER FICTION OR DRAMA)</li>

<ol>
<li><p>Parallelism </p></li>
<li><p>Idiomatic</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Idiomatic . Far away from . Think about it. </li>
</ol>

<p>I am far from my goal. I am far away from my goal. Which sounds correct.</p>

<p>I think for 1, it should be something like “the most successful” or the ones that are most successful or something.</p>

5

<p>To OP:</p>

<p>What did you think the answer was suppose to be?</p>

6

<p>1.) observation is singular so it’s “SHOWS” not show(check this one again?)
3.) inconsistent with (idiom)</p>

<p>For the last one, if you say “either fiction or in drama”, you have “in” in front of drama, but not in front of “fiction”.
So, to make it parallel, you make it “in either fiction or drama”
if “in” is in front of “either”, then the parallelism can be maintained for the two nouns we’re talking about—fiction and drama.</p>

<p>Wait my bad number 1’s error is SHOW THAT. Not MOST SUCCESSFUL.</p>

<p>Nice catch ruvuitton.</p>
