Consider this editing question based on a short passage.
Paragraph 1: A campus committee is reviewing three ways to address a budget shortfall. The minutes should present the options as grammatically equivalent choices.
Paragraph 2: The verb decide can introduce a coordinated series of whether-to clauses. The writer is deciding how to revise “The committee will decide [underlined: whether to extend the payment deadline, reducing nonessential spending, or whether to postpone the equipment purchase].”
Which revision best restores parallel structure to the budget-option decision?
