Answer:

The given lines are taken from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.

Explanation:

Zora Neale Hurston's <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em> tells the story of African American women trying to survive in the world of the white authority. The narrator Janie tells her friend Phoeby about her three husbands and the life she had to live, trying to survive.

The given passage is spoken by Nanny/ Janie's grandmother after her first marriage to Logan Killicks. And for Nanny, the union was a successful deal done, with land and a lawful husband, and all things that white women have. The passage reveals Nanny telling her granddaughter how a man and a woman should love equally. A man must have his pride and love a woman right, not kiss her foot and leg. Just like Nanny said <em>"when dey got to bow down tuh love, dey soon straightens up</em>". If he's kissing her foot and leg, meaning treating her too well, then there's only a short time when he will get back to his usual self.

Which sentence uses parallel structure?
sergeinik [125]
The correct answer is <span> A.Once things are done, there is no need to dwell on them, to worry about them, or to decide who is to blame. 
Parallel structure means that the same form of a word is used throughout a sentence - here, the infinitive form of verbs is used: to dwell, to worry, to decide. 
The rest  of the sentences change the form of a word and are not consistent, which is why they don't have parallel structures. </span>
