Question

Choose the sentence that correctly uses parallelism.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be B. In her English Composition class, Emma learned to read essays critically and she appreciated academic writing. In this sentence you find corresponding or parallel clauses conjoined into one sentence. HOPE THIS HELPS :).

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to the repetition of elements that share the same grammatical pattern. In order for parallelism to take place there needs to be a single subject, situation that occurs in option B, the subject being Emma. Additionally, we are informed what actions happened in her English composition class. Since the actions are completed, the use of the past form is necessary; both learned and appreciated are verbs in past which confirms the parallelism between the two actions.
