Read the passage. From John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you

—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. Why is this passage an example of parallelism?
It repeats the word “ask” in sentences with similar structures.

It reiterates the main idea and theme of the speech.

It contrasts “ask” and “ask not” in each of the paragraphs.

It directly addresses the audience using second person.

Answer: It repeats the word "ask" in sentences with similar structures.

Explanation: The second and fourth options are completely unrelated with the concept of parallelism. The first and third options, on the other hand, are both related to parallelism, but the third option must be discarded because the contrast between "ask" and "ask not" is not repeated in each of the paragraphs; only the verb <em>ask</em> in its imperative form is repeated in each sentence.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

She believes that a thorough knowledge of your topic and plenty of practice is leading to success.

Explanation:

The first verb to believe is used in present simple tense because it refers to her habits or general truth. In this example, she expresses something in what is she certain. The second verb to lead is used in present continuous tense because this action will be also present in the future and refers to a permanent situation that will continue and does not stop in the present moment.
