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.

How is the theme of the relationship between humans and nature discussed in each piece? "the way to rainy mountain" and ''How th
ollegr [7]

1. The Way to Rainy Mountain is the story of the Kiowa Tribe. The Kiowa tribe relied on hunting for sustenance. Their history says that they emerged from a log. Their existence is very spontaneous and natural. The tribe was also decimated by natural disasters. The tribe didn't last long. Thus, the human-nature relationship in this literary piece is that Humans cannot exist without nature. Nature decided the longevity of the tribe. Nature dictated who will survive to this day as with natural selection.

2. In the piece "How the World was Made" there is one central character, Maheo. Maheo is all powerful and was responsible for all creation. The human-nature relationship in this story is that of a creator and his creation. Here, Maheo created nature and decided their fate.

The two literary pieces are opposites when it comes the their relationship with nature. Both present great contrasts into how each tribe regarded nature.

Complete the sentence with an appropriate INTENSIVE PRONOUN. Diana found the story difficult to believe
ivanzaharov [21]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Complete the sentence with an appropriate intensive pronouns.

Diana found the story difficult to believe______________.

A. she

B. itself

C. herself

Answer:

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

Explanation:

<u>Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize the nouns they refer to.</u> We need to be careful because intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns are actually the same - myself, yourself, himself, etc. It is the use in context that differs.

In the sentence we are supposed to complete, we need to choose the appropriate intensive pronoun among the options. <u>Since "she" is a subject pronoun, we can already eliminate it. If we use "itself", we will be emphasizing "story". However, the person who has difficulty believing the story is Diana. She is the one who should be emphasized. Therefore, we can eliminate "itself" and safely choose "herself".</u>

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

If it is the one about the fire and the boys. Then the speaker doesn’t like his father in the beginning because he isn’t able to play with his friends. At the end he is grateful because the boys got in trouble and he wasn’t involved.
