phrases, sentences).
Examples: • The production manager was asked to write
his report quickly, accurately, and in a

study for the exam, completed his lab
problems in a careless manner, and
lacked motivation.

get a lot of sleep, that they should not
eat too much, and that they should do some
warm-up exercises before the game.

belong to the same level of the outline. Coordinate headings
must be expressed in parallel construction.
