Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "The recorder is familiar, helping children feel more

comfortable playing it."

Explanation:

Parallelism occurs when the same grammar pattern is used within a sentence or in a paragraph. In this case, there are three sentences that follow the same sentence pattern in the excerpt:

The recorder is plastic, making it low   cost and durable.

The recorder is small, allowing it to be  held easily.

The recorder is familiar, helping children feel more  comfortable playing it.

The grammar pattern consists of a simple sentence "the recorder is..." following by a gerund phrase (making it, allowing it, helping children).
