Remember, Johnny came from a terrible household. His parents either beat him, or ignored him. If Johnny became crippled, he wouldn't be able to come and go from that house as he pleased, which means he has to stay in that home where he was hated and unwanted. 

Here is the excerpt from the novel: 

"Even if Johnny did live he'd be crippled and never play football or help us out in a rumble again. He'd have to stay in that house he hated, where he wasn't wanted, and things could never be like they used to be. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I said one word, the hard knot in my throat would swell and I'd be crying in spite of myself." (Hinton, 87).

Justin is from Mars, satisfying the condition so that John is a robot and eats mammals. However, John is a robot and a mammal when Micah is from Venus. So if Micah is from Mars then John cannot be a robot and also eat mammals, hence the contradiction or counter.

Marianna [84]
I believe the answer is A. Parallelism implies the use of similar structure throughout the parts of either a sentence, or paragraph. Selection A uses parallelism by repeatedly containing sentence fragments.
