Answer:
The sentence with the best elements of parallelism of the examples provided is Option B. Science may be challenging, but it is also rewarding; reading might be time-consuming, but it is also enlightening.
Explanation:
Parallelism is a property of the way your sentences are structured in a piece of writing. It is usually a property that is particularly important when providing lists in something you write. All points on a list should start with a word in the same format, i.e. the listed elements should all start with a noun -- or a verb, if that is the case -- but not a mixture of those two elements. You see this mistake a lot on peoples resumes when they are listing things. Option B is best because "reading" is treated like the noun "science" in this case. Another example of the work "reading" being treated like a noun would be: "I have done the reading." Both sentences use the verb in the present progressive form in the second independent clause ending each sentence. That is another way they are parallel. There are other grammatical similarities that could be considered parallelsim in this example too!

To supervise the work of slaves

An overseer's job was to ensure that the slaves were doing as much work as they should be and that everything was being done to improve the crop yield. Overseers were generally hired seasonally and a planter would generally try and find a new one for the next season.
Hope this helped!!!
Mortified means you are highly embarressed. People are embarressed because they fail or they are ashamed
The answer should be C! (An attempt to influence another person's thoughts, feelings, or actions.) Persuasion doesn't guarantee that you'll change anybody's minds about anything, so A is wrong, and persuasion is more about influencing people rather than manipulating people, so B is wrong. That leaves you with either C or D, and C is a pretty complete answer. Hope I helped! :)
