And one more. Choose your answer and then click Continue.
After Greg completed his homework, his mother asked that he clean the bathroom, straighten up his room, and that he help with the dishes before going to bed.
clean the bathroom, straighten his room, and that he help with the dishes
clean the bathroom, that he straighten his room, and help with the dishes
clean the bathroom, straighten up his room, and help with the dishes
cleaning the bathroom, straightening up his room, and helping with the dishes
clean the bathroom, he straightened his room, and helped with the dishes
All of the mother's requests must be in the same form, and the verbs are okay, but the last component is flawed. Either "that he" needs to come in front of all of the verbs or just in front of the first one, but it can't come in front of the first and third. Eliminate Choices (1) and (2).
Look for parallel structures in the other answer choices. Choice (5) gives you different verb tenses, so eliminate it. The verbs in Choice (4) are parallel, but they make no sense with the rest of the sentence.
That leaves Choice (3).
After Greg completed his homework, his mother asked that he clean the bathroom, straighten up his room, and help with the dishes before going to bed. Yes.
