<p>Which one is correct and why is the other one wrong?</p>
<p>Q. Bats and mosquitoes come out at twilight, (and the bats would look for mosquitoes and the mosquitoes would look) for people.</p>
<p>Answer 1: and the bats come to look for mosquitoes while the mosquitoes look
Answer 2: the bats to look for mosquitoes and the mosquitoes to look</p>
<p>Is it sentence parallelism?</p>
<p>“Answer 2” is correct because the “to look” phrase is consistent.
“Answer 1”'s verb form shifts from “come to look” to “look.”</p>

<p>This link came up, and it provides more information:</p>

<p>The use of the conjunction “and” in the first choice is imprecise. So even if you were to fix the parallelism error as by writing:</p>
<p>Bats and mosquitoes come out at twilight, and the bats come to look for mosquitoes while the mosquitoes come to look for people.</p>
<p>the sentence would still be poorly written.</p>
<p>[By the way, why do you view the question as “weird”?]</p>
