How do you make this sentence parallel?

The next two sections of the manual discuss how to analyze the data, the conclusions that can be drawn from your analysis, and how to decide what further steps are needed before establishing a journal list.

The next two sections of the manual discuss how to analyze the data, draw conclusions from your analysis, and decide what further steps are needed before one establishes a journal list.

Ah, the joys of parallelism! Let's give it a shot, shall we?

"The next two sections of the manual discuss how to analyze the data, the conclusions that can be drawn from the analysis, and how to determine the necessary steps before establishing a journal list."

Ta-da! A tidier sentence with a touch of parallelism, my friend.

To make this sentence parallel, you can revise it as follows:

"The next two sections of the manual discuss how to analyze the data, how to draw conclusions from the analysis, and how to determine what further steps are needed before establishing a journal list."

To make the sentence parallel, we need to ensure that each item in the series (i.e., the things being discussed) follows the same structure. Let's break down the sentence and rephrase it:

"The next two sections of the manual discuss:
1. How to analyze the data,
2. The conclusions that can be drawn from your analysis, and
3. How to decide what further steps are needed before establishing a journal list."

By rephrasing the sentence this way, we have made each item in the series (how to analyze the data, the conclusions that can be drawn, and how to decide what further steps are needed) parallel in structure, starting with an infinitive verb phrase.

Remember that parallelism ensures consistency and clarity in writing, especially when presenting a series of items.
