She enjoys hiking in the mountains, swimming in the ocean, and to ride her bike in the park every weekend.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The original sentence has an issue with parallel structure. In a list of activities following a verb like 'enjoys,' all items should be in the same grammatical form.
Item 1: hiking (Gerund - ing form)
Item 2: swimming (Gerund - ing form)
Item 3: to ride (Infinitive)
This breaks the pattern.
To make the sentence balanced and grammatically correct, the third item must also be a gerund.
Corrected Sentence:
'She enjoys hiking in the mountains, swimming in the ocean, and riding her bike in the park every weekend.'
