Parallelism, or parallel structure, is a grammatical device that makes sure your comma series match up with verb and subject. you want your verb tenses to match, and it's best to keep it in the same order; if your subject is first, list the subject first for every list item; if your verb comes first, list it first for every list item. basically, parallel structure asks you to make everything look uniform.
choice A -- "do my homework," "mow the yard," and "help mom with dishes" are all in the same format. "do," "mow," and "help" are all present-tense verbs, and the subjects of those verbs follow. this sentence correctly uses parallelism.
choice B -- "running track" to "playing football." you have verbs ending in -ing followed by specific sports. this sentence correctly uses parallelism.
choice C -- "drove to school," "went to play rehearsal," and "the play was wonderful." this sentence doesn't read well. try reading it out loud, and notice that the last part of the sentence doesn't flow as well as the first two pieces in the comma series. "the play was wonderful" is not parallel; it should have the past-tense verb first (just like "drove" and "went") and finish up with the subject. instead, it has the subject, followed by a verb and an adjective.
choice D -- "we have great players" but "we do not work as a team." these are parallel and they match up. it begins with "we" as the subject then follows with verbs "have" and "work."

Why does he not kill Claudius when he sees him in Act III, scene iii?
Hamlet decided not to kill Claudius because he believes that Claudius' soul will go to heaven. Hamlet knew his father didn't had the chance to repent of his sins so sending Claudiu's to heaven wouldn't be a fair revenge for him.
Why does he kill Polonius in Act III, scene iv?
Hamlet believed that Claudius was behind the arras and stabbed him with a sword. Unfortunately, Polonius was the spy.
How do these two actions affect your understanding of Hamlet as a man of thought or a man of action?
Hamlet made mistaken choices. He obsessed by existencial questions like if it is worth living, if he should commit suicide or kill his uncle. He was a man of though and action in my opinion. Trying to revenge his father committed a lot of mistakes which makes me think he got mad not knowing what to really do.
Answer:
This is the story of how I almost got killed by visiting cemetery at night. Obliviously, I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop me. Cemeteries are notorious for being creepy and eerie, even more so at night. So why I did this is beyond me. I went to the cemetery as a dare from one of my friends, as I walked past crumbling, old, cracked tomb stones from as far back as the 1700's, I heard something crunch behind me. I walked with haste seeing as I turning around could slow me down if someone was following me and I needed to run. However, something in my gut told me something wasn't right and I turned around. The details are graphic so I won't include them but let's just say, I strongly advise to anyone and everyone reading this to NEVER do what I did.
Explanation:
Btw, this isn't a real story I made it up.
