<p>Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man is the story of a nameless young Black man who ultimately decides to forge his own identity rather than accept the one assigned to him. No Error</p>

<p>What do you think the answer is? Scroll down for the answer.</p>

<p>The answer is E, no error. I disagree because there is an error with C. There is no parallelism. It shouild be rather than to accept because the man decides TO FORGE his own identity. Am I crazy?</p>

<p>2 problems.

  1. Ultimately decides is a pretty good phrase there. It fits fine. So does yours but parallelism is not the case here.
  2. This is one of the first questions (18 or 19) in the writing section. I took this test as well. They wouldn’t make one that hard so early on.</p>

<p>Thanks man…so like the first 6-8 sentence ids should be obvious? that seems like a new strategy…will keep this in mind with practice tests</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>what about in BlueBook p.878 #13 (parallelism question)? can someone explain why the answer is E in that case?</p>

<p>There’s nothing wrong with it. In this case, the “to” applies to “forge” and “accept.” Imagine this sentence – “He decided to go outside and play.” There’s no parallelism problem because the “to” applies to both verbs. This sentence is the same format, just a little bit more complicated in the middle to throw you off.</p>

6

<p>how do you know if the “to” applies to both verbs or do you just do?</p>

<p>I got it right. I am shocked.</p>
