    Grammer-Paralllelism
    I'm learning about parallelism and I could not identify the parallelism in the ff sentences:

    1. One option the employees had was to take a cust in pay; the other was longer hours of work.

    2. The refrigerator has a cracked vegetable drawer, one of the shelves is missing, and a strange freezer smell.

    3. Jean spoke vididly and with force at the student government meeting.

    4. Mike's letter of application was smudged, improperly spaced, and it had wrinkles.

    I would be very grateful if you can help me identify the problems in the above sentences.

    Thanks in advance.
