Which choice best maintains parallel structure in the sentence?

    to integrate local materials into the design
  2. integrating local materials into the designCevap
  3. C
    integrated local materials into the design
  4. D
    integration of local materials into the design

Cevap

integrating local materials into the design
The correct answer maintains parallel structure by using the gerund form 'integrating', which matches the other gerunds in the series: 'maximizing' and 'minimizing'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the items in the list to determine their grammatical form.
The first two items are 'maximizing natural light' (gerund phrase) and 'minimizing environmental impact' (gerund phrase).
Parallel structure requires all items in a list or series to share the same grammatical structure.
2
Analyze the underlined portion and the choices for grammatical consistency.
The underlined phrase 'to integrate...' is an infinitive phrase, which violates parallelism. The only option that uses a gerund phrase is 'integrating local materials into the design'.
To maintain parallel structure, the final item must also be a gerund phrase starting with an '-ing' verb.
