Review the sentence:
Tonia kicked the back of Vincent’s desk, __________, and poked his
arm with her sharp pencil, but he would not bend to the side so that she
could get a glimpse of his quiz answers.
The blank needs to begin with a simple past tense verb. You chose she blew on his neck, which is a main clause and thus causes a parallelism error.
Before you continue, review the rules for parallel structure.
