🔻Parallelism🔻
Parallelism is an important element in English writing, especially when you are listing and comparing and contrasting items or ideas. Parallelism means that each item in a list or comparison follows the same grammatical pattern. If you are writing a list and the first item in your list is a noun, write all the following items as nouns also. If the first item is an -ing word, make all the others -ing words; if it is an adverb clause, make all the others adverb clauses.

🔔 HISTORY OF IDIOMS 🔔
🔻 Up To Scratch 🔻
🔹Meaning: To be acceptable.
☀️Origin: In the early days of boxing, there was no bell to signal the beginning of a round. Instead, the referee would scratch a line on the ground between fighters, and the round began when both men stepped over it. A contestant who had been knocked down had to demonstrate that he was fit to continue by walking up to the scratch. If the boxer wasn’t able to, he was considered unfit to continue the fight, ‘not up to scratch‘. The fight was awarded to his opponent.
