Transfer molding is a process ***

No it doesn't. The "and" parallel marker can be followed by certain extraneous words that you should probably just consider part of the parallel marker. Examples would include "and then" or "and also".

Hi Tim,

As a follow up to this, can you point me in the direction where I can see a comprehensive, or at least, a widely used list of words that are considered part of the parallel marker -- such as "and then" or "and also".

I'm afrad that I might be missing out some low hanging fruit because I take these sorts of words very literally and crossing out valid answer choices.

Thanks

I don't think anyone can ever give a comprehensive list for anything in the English language. What you should do instead is test any such phrase in a sentence you know exhibits proper parallelism and see if the parallel marker still makes sense:

I went to the store and to the library. [fine]
I went to the store and then to the library. [still fine]
I went to the store and piano to the library. [no good]

So "and then" is just as valid a parallel marker as "and", but "and piano" is not a parallel marker.

Totally understand what you're trying to say about the comprehensive list. That being said, to me, phrases such as "and then" etc. are pretty easily discernible but when I run into situations such as "she is smart and very beautiful" -- can I still consider this a parallel structure?

My thought process goes something like this:

"Ok, I see "and" which is a parallel marker -- look to the right --
"very beautiful" and to the left "smart". The left side doesn't have an adverb but the right side does -- does this break parallelism? Ah, crap, I don't know."

Does the left need something to describe how smart or is "smart" and "very beautiful" OK in terms of parallelism?

Hope my jargon above clarified my question. :)

I see what you're saying. When looking at parallelism, you should generally just ignore any adjectives or adverbs.

Correct injection mold design is crucial to have a profitable business. A suitable design will ensure the quality of the plastic part will be used to produce molds of the expected life expectancy of the cycle time.
