Answer: A) Parallelism.

Explanation: parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the grammatical structure of different words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph, in order to emphasize an idea or to create an impact in the audience. In the given passage from the Declaration of Independence, we can see an example of the use of parallelism, because all the elements of the list have the same structure (the use of a verb and the pronoun "our") and tense (plundered, ravaged, burned, and destroyed).

Answer:Dear future self,I hope you’re having a wonderful time exploring new things and taking care of yourself. I can see you smile while you’re reading this cause you think its funny, but go ahead and read the entire letter.I agree teenage years are not what you thought it was like as you wrote in that secret book of yours. I know school’s definitely has been a nightmare for you and everything was a burden for you but don’t let yourself feel demotivated. I know what your life is like right now ever since what happened from September till December. Don’t blame yourself because you did bad in school for that math test. A sheet of paper is not going to define your future. You’re capable of doing more and you just need to put a little effort. People have started asking you what you’re gonna do or what you’re gonna be when you grow up but don’t stress yourself. There’s plenty of time for you to think peacefully. Go for what you desire and not what others say. I know things have not been the same since December and I know you’re stressed about your exam results, but don’t overthink and think negatively. You did practice a lot and that’s gonna reflect on your exam paper. Even if you got what you didn’t expect, I want you to know there’s more exams and this is not the end. You have many opportunities coming ahead of you so use that as a challenge.Know that there are people who loves you and I know you miss Em and Adam so badly but they still love you.Signing off,.........

Here is the letter.

Plz give me brainliest answer.
