Here’s an unshmoopy question you’ll find on the exam…
Fix this sentence: My sister loves skiing, bowling, and to read.
And here are the potential answers:
So… what is this question asking?
Ooh. Something scratched the record – er… pitted the Pandora stream at the end there.
Something about that sentence just doesn’t… sound right. What was it that hurt our ears
so badly?
Ski ING…
Bowl ING…
…and to read.
Ugh. What word doesn’t fit here?
Sequences have to have a kind of conformity or parallel structure. If we start with two
INGs… we need a third.
So the answer is B.
As in, “Busted ear drums.”
