Question

Instructions:Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country" uses parallelism? In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more. It was cold in the fall in Milan and the dark came very early. Then the electric lights came on, and it was pleasant along the streets looking in the windows. There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails. The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers. It was a cold fall and the wind came down from the mountains.

Answer 1

Parallelism is the use of the components in a sentence that are the same grammatically or similar in construction, sound or meaning. It is used as a literary device in may works. Examples are "James ran into the garden, into the room and into our hearts.", "Like father, like son.", and "Easy come, easy go." In the excerpt this is the parallelism used "There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails."
