Answer: B) The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Explanation: parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetiton of grammatical structures in a sentence or paragraph. In the given sentence we can see an example of a faulty parallelism because the grammatical structures "is a border" and "divides" aren't the same, they should both be in the same form, for this reason the correct answer is option B: The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey, they are both in present form.

List two to three details you learned from this excerpt about Caesar the historical figure.
Anton [14]
If this refer to the play "Tragety of Julius Caesar" you can notice that he is an arrogant man who thinks he's the best and that he knows more than his wife and other common people. He doesn't listen to the warnings of many people who tries to help him.  This is noticed in the play of the book: ( Classics for Young readers) pg. 15, 16: 

(Words omitted) Caesar: Ha! Who calls?

A soothsayer a kind of fortune teller cried:
Soothsayer: Beware the idles of March!

Caesar: He is a dreamer! (making joke of the situation) Later on pages. 
30, 32 people such as his wife Calpurnia and Artemidorous try to stop Caesar from going to the senate. But, Caesar's arrogance and stubbornness lead him to his tragic death. He trust Brutus more than he does Anthony and others. That was his fatal mistake. Second he follows Roman traditions such as the one mentioned in pg. 15 (Shakespeare for Young People)

Announcer 2: Caesar's celebration begins with a religious race

Caesar: Set on, and <span>leave</span> no ceremony out

Etc. there are other situations such as this one found in the play. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now if you want straight facts of about who Caesar was and his life I will explain that too. Take note. 

Caesar was a Roman Emperor who ruled Greece and Rome among other cities etc. He was a grand leader who freed Rome from horrid dangers such as putting street criminals to prisons, make Rome an independent city, etc. Of course, they used trade among other things to obtain clothes, food and other objects or artifacts. He ruled with justice and pride. He also treated his Roman citizens will grand delicacy as if it were his own eye. Statues of him demonstrate his handsomeness and shoulders show strongness; a man a grand appearance and great dignity.  Caesar<span> was an awesome general, a brilliant and gifted lawyer and one of the most successful politicians compared to the Emperors which took his place after him. </span>There are confirmed facts though that he could be compared to Hitler because he <span>to secure his glory and eternal fame he caused war which as consequence there were many deaths, etc. These are just some things about the life of Caesar.
                                                 I Hope this helped. </span>
