Answer:

A. Last week Mark started <u>coming home​ late</u>, <u>missing​ classes</u>, and <u>arguing with his parents</u>

Explanation:

A parallel structure is used when the same pattern is repeated and the same pattern has the same function. For example, in the statement above, the verb <em>to start</em> is used with some complements. The complements , which refer to different activities, are expressed through  participles ( _ing): <em>starting...; missing </em>...and <em>arguing.</em>.... These are all participles and function as the complement of <em>to start.</em>

givi [52]

The goal of a satire is to criticize or ridicule somebody or something (an action, a situation, a behavior). For that reason, it usually features sharp and mordant ideas. In this excerpt from the <em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> by Mark Twain, Huck, the main character, is describing one of his encounters with the severe Miss Watson, his guardian's sister. In it, Miss Watson, who wants Huck to accept religion at all cost, is telling him to pray everyday, and, as a reward, he will get what he asks for. However, Huck, tired of not getting it (hooks for his fish-line), harmlessly asks Miss Watson, to her dismay, to do it for him, since, so he believes, she may be luckier and gets what he has asked for in his prayers. Miss Watson's livid reply and Huck's unaffected comment emphasize the mocking nature of the theme in this excerpt.
