What, if anything, is wrong with with the following sentence?

Do you advise me to go to college or that I should get a job after high school.

a. Run-on
b.Misplaced part
c. Lacks parallel parts
d. Properly constructed sentence.

I believe the answer is c.
I think it should read; Do you advise me to go to college or to get a job after high school.

I believe that would make the sentence parallel.

Yes, you're right ... on both the answer and the rewritten sentence.

=)

Yes! :-) You're right. You've corrected the problem of the parallel parts very well.

To further explain, the original sentence lacked parallel structure because it used different forms of verbs after "college" and "job." In the corrected sentence, both options are presented using infinitive forms of the verbs: "to go" and "to get." This ensures parallelism and improves the overall clarity and correctness of the sentence. Great job catching that!
