I was reviewing the flashcards and came across this one that looked a bit suspicious. Here is the sentence:
Among the dog's offenses are a refusal to eat anything but expensive rib eye steak and a penchant for attacking postal workers, neighbors and relatives, including my nephew and grandmother.
In the flip side, it is written that nothing is wrong with this sentence. I, however, do not think so (perhaps i am wrong).
1. parallelism is violated here - shouldn't it be - offenses are a refusal to eat ..... and a penchant TO (not for) attack?
2. In the MGMAT SC book, it is written that AND should be proceeded with a comma if there are three or more items. So, here it is the case. Shouldn't it be - postal workers, neighbors, and relatives?
Thanks in advance!
