for the first one i might still get convinced with E i cant exzactly find anything gramatically wrong with the sentence as such , but with the second im not sure if compared with is a correct usage , compared to is fine , i go with verbal on my instincts as such no grammer maniac .... so anybody else for the rescue .

@suggestion - cant the sentence correction caselets be attached as files?
im not sure if anybody else has suggested this before or there are any particular reasons for the way its done now , but the presentway does make the posts very very long and inconvenient to browse through the thread.

To heal or thanking .... it is not parallel is hould be either
to ask .. to heal .. to thank........
since here it is "asking" parallel would be asking healing thanking


Ah I have missed a lot !! Well back from today !!!

Well, actually i did think over it while solving, and found the parallelism is not between these two statements but over the following two :

either asking the goddess or thanking her for such help


so to heel or in healing shouldn't matter here.
