Q:

Which phrase breaks the rule of parallel structure?

Answer

Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance and to help the reader comprehend what is being written.. This can happen at the word, phrase, or clause level. The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as "and" or "or."
