<p>My father insists that before [buying a used car, have it] thoroughly inspected by a reputable mechanic.</p>
<p>A) same
C) buying a used car, I have it
D) I buy a used care to have it</p>
<p>[Endangered] for decades [by hunting] and the use of pesticides, the bald eagle, [with its] snowy-feathered head and white tail, [are now] making a comeback.</p>
<p>My father -a
[are now]</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think it is parallelism: [by hunting] is not parallel with [the use]</p>
<p>can you please post more of the answer choices of the first one…</p>
<p>the second one should be “is now” instead of “are now”</p>
<p>Wow, number 2 was a joke… I should have seen that.</p>

<p>@belly: the answer isn’t A. That’s what I thought though.</p>
<p>buying a used car is an appositive so their should be an “I” after it, which makes it C i think</p>
<p>honestly this question has stumped me… but if it was on a test I would probably flip a coin and choose between either “B” or “C”</p>
<p>I would go with C, it makes the most sense.</p>
<p>
Yeah but bald eagle isn’t plural, so are now is wrong.</p>
<p>I know it. Therefore, I asked about.</p>
