Answer 2

The statement that recounts the syntax employed in the given passage would be:

C). The author uses repetition and parallelism.

• "Syntax" is defined only as the arrangements framed through various words, as well as, phrases in order to make a complete and meaningful sentence.
• In the given passage, the third sentence correctly identifies the syntax employing the devices like repetition and parallelism.
• The repetition(they) makes the idea more compelling while parallelism in the usage of verb forms("sprayed, pruned, grafted") helps give equal significance to various ideas and enhances their meaning and impact.
