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.

Why do you think it takes courage to achieve something? Explain your answer.(please put it in ace format)
Anni [7]
It takes courage to achieve something because you have to start it in the first place.

What if you had to jump off a diving board from a high level to win a bet? Or maybe sing or give a speech in front of a huge crowd if you were afraid of speaking in public? Getting good grades, graduating, asking a crush out.

All of these things are possible to accomplish, yet you need courage to achieve them because it’s scary to start if you’re afraid you might fail. You need courage to achieve them because of how hard it may get in the process.
