A sentence reads: "Aishwarya is a great dancer, but she acts ordinarily." The main issue is that it lacks parallelism between ![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_417876fda3c2/img-019.jpeg)

Atwo noun forms describing comparable activities
Btwo prepositional phrases modifying the same noun
Can adjective and an adverb in the same clause
Dtwo clauses with different tenses
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. two noun forms describing comparable activities
The sentence contrasts two activities, but it uses "dancer" (a noun) in one part and "acts" (a verb) in the other. A better version would keep the forms parallel, such as "Aishwarya is a great dancer, but an ordinary actor" or "Aishwarya dances greatly, but acts ordinarily."
