Just like verbs, adverbs and adjectives
in a list must agree. Descriptive words are easy to replace
with wordy phrases, and test writers will try to trip you up by including
a verb or phrase among a list of adjectives or adverbs:
On the morning of his fourth birthday,
Johnny was giggly, energetic, and couldn't wait for the party to
begin.
If you read through the sentence quickly, it might sound
acceptable. However, the list includes one item that doesn't belong:
This looks to be a list of adjectives until you reach the third item
in the list: it's not an adjective, it's a verb. The "list of
adjectives" won't be complete until the last item falls into
step with the others:
This example replaces the verb phrase couldn't
wait with the descriptive phrase very eager — which
indeed includes an adjective. Note that this list is parallel even though one of the items in the list is modified.
Watch for consistency in item type as
well as consistency of form.
 Incorrect: On the morning of his fourth birthday, Johnny was giggly, energetic and couldn't
wait for the party to begin.
 Correct: On the
morning of his fourth birthday, Johnny was giggly, energetic and very
eager for the party to begin.
