+## Executing the Root Selection Set
+
+To execute the root selection set, the object value being evaluated and the
+object type need to be known, as well as whether it must be executed serially,
+or may be executed in parallel.
+
+Executing the root selection set works similarly for queries (parallel),
+mutations (serial), and subscriptions (where it is executed for each event in
+the underlying Source Stream).
