A parallel structure means that withing the sentence the same structure/scheme is used everywhere. So the correct answer is B. A cannot be correct as you have "BEING honest", "BEING courageous" and then just "compassionate". BEING was deleted. C is also incorrect as you have "BEING honest" and then just nouns "courage" and "compassion" - the structure has changed. It is the same case with D - "IS honest", "IS courageous" and then just "compassionate", without IS. And B is correct because we have three nouns "honesty", "courage", "compassion" - the structure remains the same.
Answer:
Flashback
Explanation:
Novel Frankenstein is written in flashback method. The story in Frankenstein's dialogs and almost the whole novel is told in flashback. This way of telling a story is good because we have the impression that there are no mediums between the characters, it makes it a first hand story.
Flashback is a method that represents the disconnection of chronological order. When the story is told in flashback one continuous action is interrupted by the events that happened in the past. This way the writer gives us the background of the story and at the same time he continues with the story.
Motif is basically elements in the poem with symbolic meanings. So, in these poems you have listed, each of them have a motif of death through symbolization. For instance, in the poem "Ah, Are You Digging My Grave" he uses symbolism to express that he is dead and buried as you can see from the title itself and the first verse, "Ah, are you digging on my grave, <span>My loved one? -- planting rue?"
For "My Last Duchess" shows a great point of symbolism when the jealous Duke has a portrait of the Duchess he killed behind his curtains to ensure his dominance over her even when she is already dead.
In the last poem, "The Lady of Shalott" the character herself is a symbol. In the verses, "</span>The reaper, reaping late and early, Hears her ever chanting cheerly, Like an angel, singing clearly" it uses metaphors that symbolize death with the word, "reaper and reaping".
