Answer 1

The phrases that use parallel structures are:

• “prewriting to gather your ideas”
• “drafting to organize your ideas”
• “making revisions to make sure your ideas are logical”

Parallel structures are phrases or sentences that use the same grammar pattern.

Parallelism in this paragraph is achieved by using the same grammar structure (prewriting, drafting, making revisions + infinitive verb+object)
