Question

Correct the underlined part of the sentence. If there is no error choose "no change."

James Barrie, the author of Peter Pan and other plays, is noted for portraying adulthood as unpleasant and childhood is glorified.

• A. No change
• B. Childhood as being glorious.
• C. Childhood as glorious.
• D. Childhood glorified.
• E. Glorified childhood.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Childhood as glorious.

The sentence here lacks parallel structure. Barrie portrays adulthood one way and childhood another, but the grammatical construction of the two portrayals should remain the same. Option C does this by portraying 'childhood as glorious' which corresponds to 'adulthood as unpleasant'. C is the correct answer.
