Explanation:
Parallel constructions involve the repetition of a grammatical pattern including the use of the same tense or grammatical form to express elements of the same importance. This structure is used in the sentence "I called for Sadie. Sadie didn't answer. I waited up for Sadie didn't come home" because in this sentence all the actions are expressed using the simple past tense through verbs such as called, waited, or didn't answer. Moreover, this structure helps the author create a sad tone because all the actions expressed the idea Sadie cannot be found.

Explanation:
The sentences that use description to develop the narrator's personality are the second, third, and fourth ones.
Story writers create and describe their characters in the process called characterization. There are two main types of characterization:
- Direct characterization - the writer explicitly tells us about a character's traits.
- Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character from their thoughts, actions, appearance, interaction with other characters, etc.
The given sentences are examples of indirect characterization. We find out more about the narrator's personality from their interaction with other characters. The rest of the sentences don't contribute to the description of their personality, which is why they're incorrect options.
