Answer:
There are not any statements attached to the question.
The correct answer to this question is the choice: "<span>The Doctor ."
The excerpt as shown below:
</span><span> “Nor haughty in his speech, nor too divine, / But in all teaching prudent and benign.” refers to the doctor who is a member of the pilgrimmage.
</span>
"If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve", "if we mean not basely to abandon" AND "which we have been so long contending", "which we have been so long engaged", "which we have pledged".
Parallelism is the repetition of the same grammatical structure. There are two instances of parallel structure in this excerpt. The first is the "If we ___ to ___" structure. The second is the "which we have _______" structure. By filling the passage with this parallel structure is gives the sense of a list of reasons that all, compounding on top of one another, logically lead to the need to fight. The change from the parallel structures in the last line "we must fight!" makes this exclamation stand out and hold power.
