The detail from Nathaniel Hawthorne's story, "The Birthmark," that develops the theme that the quest for perfection is destined to fail is;

  • "'Do not repent that with so high and pure a feeling, you have rejected the best the earth could offer. Aylmer, dearest Aylmer, I am dying!'"

In this story, we learn of a scientist who loved his wife so much that it overrode his love for science. His name was Aylmer and his wife's name was Georgina.

One day, this scientist suddenly started noticing a flaw on his wife's face. This made the woman so frustrated that she cried out and asked the man why he would marry her despite seeing her flaw.

In contemplating how to remove the flaw, the man wondered if removing the flaw might lead to an even cureless deformity.

Conclusively, the man, in his medical trials successfully removed the birthmark but caused his wife's death in the end. This shows that the quest for perfection will fail in the end.

Which sentence is written correctly in regards to parallel structure?A) Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking,
ivanzaharov [21]

The correct answer is A. Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking.  

Explanation:

In grammar, a parallel structure in one in which there is a repetition of a grammatical structure, this usually implies a list of elements are presented using the same structure and related to the rest of the sentence in the same way which creates a parallel relation between all the elements presented.

In the case of presented, a parallel structure implies all the elements of the list which are sport or activities are presented by using the same grammatical structure which can be done by presenting all the elements using gerunds (verbs ended in -ing) or an infinitive (preposition "to" followed by the verb). Considering this, the only option which follows a parallel structure is "Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking" because all the elements after the colon (:) are presented using gerund grammatical structure which creates a parallel relationship between all the elements.
