The correct answer is A. Dribble it. pass it. throw it. we want a basket.

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to the repetitive use of one grammatical construction or structure that is related to a set of items. This implies, in parallelism, there is one grammatical structure and this is combined with multiple elements that relate in the same, similar or parallel way to the main structure. Parallelism is used to create certain effects on prose and poetry, but it also makes texts easier to understand as the reader only needs to focus on one structure rather than multiple structures. In this case, there is parallelism as the grammatical construction is being repeated, in this case, an infinitive or bare verb is combined with the pronoun "It", which is repeated in three occasions "dribble it" "pass it" and "throw it".This implies, in general, there is one grammatical structure (infinitive  verb+ it) that is repeated with a set of items (Dribble, pass and throw)  that relate to the grammatical structure in the same way and therefore this passage uses parallelism.

I believe the answer is A. Parallelism implies the use of similar structure throughout the parts of either a sentence, or paragraph. Selection A uses parallelism by repeatedly containing sentence fragments.
