【正确答案】:She worked long hours, saved every penny she could, denied herself luxuries for an education.
【题目解析】:平行结构是把两个或两个以上的意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表达出来。所谓意思上并列,其实质就是在句中充当相同的句子成分;所谓同等的语法形式,相同词性的单词或是相同语法结构的短语或句子。也就是说,在同一个句子中,如果两部分做的是相同的句子成分,那么,这两部分内容必须是词性相同的单词或结构相同的短语或句子。判断一个平行结构是否正确,一是看它们在句中所做的成分是否一样,二是看它们的语法结构是否相同,二者缺一不可;否则,就破坏了平行结构。平行结构可以是单词、词组、从句、也可以是句子。本题采用的平行的动宾结构来完成的。
