Paraphrasing involves taking a set of facts or opinions and rewording them. When paraphrasing, it is important to keep the original meaning and to present it in a new form. Basically, you are simply writing something in your own words that expresses the original idea.

Making a point of rebellion

Spending time in nature

Taking many interesting walks

Explanation:

This is a poem about love that has been lost and he is sad. I am not sure which of your answers meet this definition of the poem, but he has many interesting walks in life. He just wishes that he could still have that love that is lost. The snow is a symbol for pain and suffering and his heart is aching. It is not just about nature and walking through it, but trying to follow that old path that he cannot follow any longer.

Answer: Third option: Mixing as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Explanation:

The question asks us about what is NOT a feature of parallel structures.

Parallel structures ARE used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases. They ARE used to express more than just one idea in a single sentence. They MAKE thoughts more interesting and easy to understand. What parallel structures do NOT do is mix as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Parallelism consists of the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence. The purpose of such repetition is to avoid confusion, making the speech clear, interesting, and easy to be understood. Let's compare the following examples:

1. I love watching TV, video games, and to read magazines.

2. I love watching TV, playing video games, and reading magazines.

The first structure does no present parallelism. Instead, the words completing the meaning of the verb "love " are a mix of grammatical forms. Even though this structure is understandable, it demands more from the reader/listener, since there is no pattern to make it easier to understand the meaning.

The second structure is a parallel one, and the words present similar grammatical forms (verb+ing). A pattern is created, making it simpler and more consistent.

Answer:

1. The Boston Marathon is an annual 26-mile race.

2. Many runners come from all over the world to this event.

3. The race begins in a suburb of Boston.

4. The course takes runners around the Massachusetts countryside.

5. The night before the race, many runners eat pasta dinners.

6. These carbohydrates give the runners energy and stamina.

7. During the race, many runners hit "the wall" after 20 miles.

8. Some racers are stopped by this phenomenon.

9. Approximately 6,000 people enter the competition each year.

10. Despite the tension and exhaustion, many contestants return again and...

Explanation:

I have underlined the simple subjects and bolded the simple predicates within the given sentences.

A simple subject is the most important word within the complete subject. It's a noun or a pronoun. For example, the complete subject in the 2nd sentence is Many runners, but the most important word within it is runners, which makes it the simple subject.

A simple predicate is the main part, a verb, of the complete predicate. A complete predicate includes all the descriptors besides the verb (e.g. The race begins in a suburb of Boston), but the simple predicate is just the verb (begins).
