Answer:
D. use the same grammatical pattern.
Explanation:
Parallelism literally means using the same structure in (say) writing. Another way to put it, is that; when presenting a point, the sub-points must follow the same grammatical pattern or structure.
For example, the writer can choose to present the points using past tense. If by chance, there is a mix of tenses; then, the sub-points are not in parallel
This also include using phrases or sentences of identical and similar structure in each point and/or sub-points.
<em>Option (a) to (c) refer to the layout of the sub-points. The only options that answers the question is (d).</em>
Answer:
The Declaration of Independence of the United States, written by Thomas Jefferson on July 4, 1776, was the document that proclaimed the separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain, declaring the independence of the United States as a sovereign nation.
In this proclamation, Jefferson summarizes the motivations for which the patriots sought independence from Great Britain, specifying the abuses of King George against the individual and economic rights of the settlers, such as the establishment of the Intolerable Acts and the Taxation after the French and Indian War. Later, he mentions that the will of the colonists was that of reconciliation, but that this was not admitted by the British Crown itself.
Thus, he continues to establish that the ideological motivation of the patriots was to establish a nation where the natural rights of men (following the philosophical position of John Locke) were respected, where each individual could enjoy without restriction the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
