The correct answer is D. This sentence is a perfect example of parallel structure because either after and before AND it in both cases uses simple past tense verbs which are LEARNED AND TRAVELED. The other sentences never show parallelism due to their units are never the same. For example, in letter A , it uses a verb in simple present WALKS AND a progressive tense verb which is TAKING. So, to sum up, for a sentence to be considered parallel, it must be coherent in its structure and internal words. They need to have harmony and unity in tenses as well.

Stolb23 [73]

The way Holmes handles the perpetrators of the crimes affect how I view Holmes in a significant way: these examples show that, even with all the characteristics that put Holmes one step ahead of most human being, he is somehow still human, human enough to do something that is not considered right for many, but for him it is. It showed me that Holmes has an integrity I never considered before.

----

For me, it is, as it proves his integrity and also the dedication to his work. He does not want to punish the guilty, instead what really concerns Holmes is the discovery of the truth. In that sense, his mission is admirable.

----

Yes, it is possible to say that he sees himself as “above the law”. Holmes does not care for trivial human conventions, as he displayed on many occasions throughout his career. He believes that his ability and talent are enough to put him above the law.

----

It depends on what it is considered ethical. From his point of view, surely it is ethical. From the point of view of the justice system, it is surely not ethical. From a personal perspective, while I do understand his point of view, I do not consider his behavior ethical.

----

<span>I do consider his behavior ethical because, while he has many talents and abilities, no man should be seen himself as above the law. It takes only one man to consider himself as so to justify every other man to do the same, and so this would led to many men thinking they could do justice on their own. </span>
