Parallelism

by confuse mind » Sat Jul 14, 2012 6:54 pm
I have confusion whether we should repeat the connection word(parallelism indicator) in the parallel parts of the sentence.

1. relative pronoun
Ram who is intelligent and who runs a start-up will be a millionaire by the end of third quarter.
// is the second who essentail?

2. conjunction
Gujarat where many news industries have started and where Narendra Modi rules is setting an example for other states in India
//is the second where essentail

3. prepositional phrase
Ram with his MBA credentials and with his conflict resolution tactics is sure to succeed in his business.
//is the second with essential

The second who is essential.


2. conjunction

The second "where" is definitely required.

3. prepositional phrase
Ram with his MBA credentials and with his conflict resolution tactics is sure to succeed in his business.
//is the second with essential.
No. The second "with" is not essential.

Also, in all the sentences, you require commas after Ram and after the parallel part of the sentence.
Let me know if this helps :)
