Answer:

"Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell

The Europeans are presented as unnecessary despots, who foolishly portray themselves as lords, by imposing their rule over others, nothing realizing that they are becoming a laughing stock of the ruled. Imperialists all over history think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the people, whom they think they dominate.  Like masked people, who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices, Europeans must dance to the music that only the crowds know how best to play.

Explanation:

George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a Burmese colonial police officer, torn in-between loyalty to his official duty and the dictates of his conscience.  According to George Orwell, imperialism and colonialism attract the wicked man's reward: lack of appreciation.

Select from the drop-down menu to complete the sentence with parallel structure.
velikii [3]

<span>I would rather spend my vacation in a big city than in a mountain cabin.</span>

Parallel structure refers to having the same structure or parts of speech in the same sequence and function. In the sentence, the parallel structure that needs to be paired with is “in a big city” which is a prepositional phrase; so, the choice that has the same format is “in a mountain cabin” which is also a prepositional phrase. “To go,” “staying,” and “being” are obviously different for they are either an infinitive phrase or participial phrase.
