Sentence Correction

Medium

The place where her father disappeared and the reason why he did are unknown to her.

Correct Option: 2
  1. her father disappeared and the reason why he did
    • Wrong: This omits "where," which is necessary for the first part of the sentence.
  2. where her father disappeared and the reason he did
    • Correct: This maintains parallel structure. Parallel structure means using the same grammatical form for similar elements in a sentence. Here, we have two noun clauses:
      • "where her father disappeared" (about place)
      • "the reason he did" (about reason)
      Both clauses are structured similarly, creating balance.
  3. her father disappeared and the reason he did
    • Wrong: This omits "where," which is needed for the first part of the sentence, breaking the parallel structure.
  4. where her father disappeared and the reason why he did
    • Acceptable, but less concise: While grammatically correct and maintaining parallel structure, it's slightly redundant. "The reason" already implies "why," so including "why" is unnecessary.
