Both sentences have correct parallel structure.

Parallel structure, also known as parallelism, involves using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance. In both sentences, the list of taxes is presented in a parallel format:

  1. "federal taxes, state taxes, and local taxes" - Each item in the list is a noun phrase with the same structure.
  2. "federal, state, and local taxes" - Each item in the list is an adjective modifying the noun "taxes," maintaining parallel structure.

Both sentences effectively use parallel structure to convey the same idea.

The height above the ground of a stone thrown upwards is given by s(t), where t is measured in seconds. After 2 seconds, the height of the stone is 43 feet above the ground, and after 2.25 seconds, the height of the stone is 54 feet above the ground. Evaluate s(2) and s(2.25), and then find the average velocity of the stone over the time interval [2,2.25]. Evaluate s(2) and s(2.25) s(2)= s(2.25)= (Simplify your answers.) The average velocity of the stone over the time interval [2,2.25] is (Simplify your answer.)
