parallelism

Peers Educating To End Rape has some corrections that would make the flier appear more balanced.
Through volunteering you could:
  • receive service
  • learning credit
Schedule a presentation with us for:
  • your class
  • your conference
  • your group
Crocker Science House has more balance to the structure than the other handout, primarily through the use of the Harvard comma.
  • Beautiful architecture, classic interiors, and fully furnished, quiet, comfortable living space.
This next structure is balanced in two parts.
  • More than 125 high-achieving students live in the ten homes on Officer's Circle.The student residential living complex ranks among the nation's finest.
An example found would be, Fred likes to swim and candy. this is incorrect since it has an infinitive on one side and a noun on the other. More correct structures would be:
  • Fred likes to swim and to eat candy.
  • Fred likes swimming and candy.
