Verified Answer :

Final answer:

The three short sentences can be combined into one long sentence using proper parallel structure. An example of such a sentence is: 'I need to buy eggs, clean the pan, and chill the butter before I bake this cake.' Thus, the answer to the question is true.


Explanation:

To determine whether the three short sentences can be revised into one long sentence with proper parallel structure, we first need to understand the components of each sentence:

  1. I need to buy eggs before I can bake this cake.
  2. Then I need to clean the pan.
  3. The butter has to be chilled, too.

Now, if we combine these sentences into one long sentence while ensuring parallel structure, we can say:

I need to buy eggs, clean the pan, and chill the butter before I bake this cake.

In this revision, all the verbs ('buy', 'clean', 'chill') are presented in a parallel format, maintaining the balance necessary for proper structure. Hence, the statement that the sentences can be revised into one single sentence with proper parallel structure is true.
