active voice made parallel to passive voice

[aflaamM589]

In GMAT SC, we know that passive voice is as likely to be correct as active voice is.
However,is it possible that active voice is made parallel to passive voice?

any verb can be parallel to any other verb.

it's pretty easy to make sentences like this:
Carl applied to six schools and was accepted by three of them.

where would you get the idea that this isn't ok?

Hello Ron,
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/foru ... t1827.html
here, one of the instructor (JonathanSchneider) wrote that in GMAT this situation is unlikely.
In general situations, your statement seems to be correct but do GMAC put active in parallell with passive?
Thanks in anticipation for clearing things out.
P.S:below in Jonathan's point of view.

It's doubtful that the GMAT would ever have you construct a sentence with an active and a passive in parallel, as your sentence here has it. Moreover, notice that your sentence: 1) doesn't entirely make sense (it is not the houses that are banked, but the structure underneath); and 2) is not very concise: we would want to eliminate the comma and the "was," ideally, from the second part. I don't say this to pick on you, because I think yours is a great question, and I like that you invented this sentence for us to consider. I only bring up these objections because parallelism is not just some abstract rule; rather, it has an actual purpose: to boost clarity and concision at once. When you break parallelism, you are at risk of losing those other elements as well.

Saying that something is unlikely does not mean it can't happen.

Sure.
Thanks for the reply Tim.
