This excerpt from Annus Mirabilis by John Dryden speaks about London after it was ravaged by fire and plague. What is the centra

l idea of the excerpt? More great than human now, and more august, Now deified she from her fires does rise: Her widening streets on new foundations trust, And opening into larger parts she flies. Before, she like some shepherdess did show, Who sat to bathe her by a river's side; Not answering to her fame, but rude and low, Nor taught the beauteous arts of modern pride. . . . Now, like a maiden queen, she will behold, From her high turrets, hourly suitors come; The East with incense, and the West with gold, Will stand, like suppliants, to receive her doom! The silver Thames, her own domestic flood, Shall bear her vessels like a sweeping train; And often wind, as of his mistress proud, With longing eyes to meet her face again. A. The growth and development of the city will endanger the river. B. London will once again thrive despite the calamities that befell it. C. The queen will welcome suitors from all across the world. D. The Thames River will be flooded and will cause disaster. Reset Next

Read the sentence below. Then choose the option that maintains parallel structure. Because she lost the invitation, Crystal was
KiRa [710]

The answer is D) what to wear.

Parallelism is a theme, because she used "where to go, when to leave, and..." instead of "where she would go, when she would leave, and..." then the answer is "what to wear".

Let's put the sentence together, "where to go, when to leave, and what to wear". THAT is a parallel sentence!

Now let's try what most would think the answer is which is, C) "what she should wear"... "Where to go, when to leave, and what she should wear", THIS is a normal sentence since the beginning is not the same as the end of the sentence.

That's why it's called parallelism, the beginning is the same as the end. It <em>Mirrors </em>the beginning.

Now if the sentence was, "where she would go, when she would leave, and..." then C would work.

"Where she would go, when she would leave, and what she should wear."

I hoped I helped! Everyone have a blessed day! <3

What did james brother richie tell him
melisa1 [442]

James brother Richie tell him that he's adopted, that his real mother is in jail, and that he will be returned to her shortly.

As a child, James is interested in his mother's family history. Since Ruth does not answer many of his questions, James turns his questions to his siblings. When James questions his brother Richie about his mother's light skin, Richie tells James that it doesn't matter because he, James, is adopted.

Hence, the correct answer is he's adopted, that his real mother is in jail, and that he will be returned to her shortly.
