The correct answer is A. Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking.  

Explanation:

In grammar, a parallel structure in one in which there is a repetition of a grammatical structure, this usually implies a list of elements are presented using the same structure and related to the rest of the sentence in the same way which creates a parallel relation between all the elements presented.

In the case of presented, a parallel structure implies all the elements of the list which are sport or activities are presented by using the same grammatical structure which can be done by presenting all the elements using gerunds (verbs ended in -ing) or an infinitive (preposition "to" followed by the verb). Considering this, the only option which follows a parallel structure is "Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking" because all the elements after the colon (:) are presented using gerund grammatical structure which creates a parallel relationship between all the elements.

Answer: F.

The best way to stop drunk driving is to enforce stiffer penalties for anyone caught drinking and driving. The fines need to be much higher and their license should be much harder to get back. It should be made that a zero tolerance breathalyzers machine should be mandatory in every new vehicle that you buy. Make it so that the car just won't start even if you have a drink or two. There should also be designated drivers in every town and city all over the world. A designated driver is simply a person who agrees not to drink alcohol and be responsible for driving others home. The clubs should also have it in place so you can't leave and drink and drive. Then just maybe if we get this all in place, maybe we can save a lot a lives each year and keep the drunk drivers off the highway
