The sentence in which parallel structure is used is A) While making a necklace, Sharon strung sparkly beads, added heart charms, and attached a silver clasp.
The parallel structure is marked in this sentence because the <em>simple past tense </em>is used in the three clauses. The parallel structure, also known as parallelism, is <em>the use of a repetitive pattern in the sentence structure. </em>Its function is to give an equal importance to different ideas or words within a sentence. The use of parallelism is useful to balance writing and make a sentence easier to read. One way of balancing a sentence is to use the same tense in all clauses. The other sentences B, C and D <em>do not follow a repetition in pattern.</em>
