Answer:

The focus of the book is what is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Over time, the author explains how soldiers' stress and demand for aid have evolved. They use the word "shell shock" as an illustration of how the term came to be used. Compared to the names it was afterwards referred to, the author feels this two-syllable phrase was simpler and more straightforward. "The pain is completely buried under jargon," it is said. I'll bet if they had still been calling it "shell shock," some of those Vietnam veterans might have received the attention they needed. Authors argue that troops were better served by the original word, shell shock, since it didn't have a long phrase and many more syllables. When a soldier is "on the edge of a nervous collapse," he or she is said to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

To make it parallel I would say to put it in this format: We can’t go back; to go forward is our only option. This makes the verbs the same.

The boy kicked the soccer ball under the car adjective or adverb
alekssr [168]
If you are referring to "under the car" as a phrase, then it is an adverbial phrase that should show the place. If you are referring to "soccer" it functions as an adjective used to describe the central word of the cluster, that is, the ball.
