Here is a sentence from the.
McGraw Hill conquering GMAT Verbal & Writing.
The Large Hadron Collider, a circular chamber over seventeen miles in circum-
ference, will accelerate protons to 99.999 percent the speed of light and, scientists
hope, generate new types of matter, uncover hidden dimensions, and recreations
of events at the birth of the universe.
the answer given is,
The Large Hadron Collider, a circular chamber over seventeen miles in
circumference, will accelerate protons to 99.999 percent the speed of
light and, scientists hope, generate new types ofmatter, uncover hidden
dimensions, and recreate events at the birth of the universe.
The list should consist of all verbs: generate, uncover, and
recreate.
my question is, will accelerate is it also not part of the list of parallel verbs ?
if somebody could explain in detail,the how and why...
Large Hadron Collider

It looks to me that structure of the sentence is something like this:
X and Y.(Y = A, B and C)
X=accelerate; A=generate; B=uncover; C=recreate;
Just like X and Y, A B and C also need to be parallel with one another.
In the original sentence C was not parallel with A and B.
X and Y.(Y = A, B and C)
X=accelerate; A=generate; B=uncover; C=recreate;
Just like X and Y, A B and C also need to be parallel with one another.
In the original sentence C was not parallel with A and B.
