Answer:
A. Clutched her stomach.
Explanation:
Parallel structure refers to the use of a similar word patterns in a sentence. In other words, this means that the tense or word form used is the same in a sentence.
In the given sentence, the verb used is in the simple past tense. So, the verb structure all throughout the sentence will remain in that form, meaning the verbs used will all be in the same form.
So, the sentence with parallel structure will become-
<em>When Delores realized that her father had made lima beans and rice for dinner, she claimed to feel nauseous, clutched her stomach, and excused herself from the table. The bag of stale popcorn in her room would tide her over until breakfast.</em>
The parallelism is seen in the words "realized, claimed, clutched, excused".
Therefore, <u>the option that will maintain parallel structure in the sentence will be option A.</u>
I think that Tom's values become a microcosm for values of American society. Tom's choices in this story are reflections of his valuing material wealth and financial prosperity over the well-being of others. He is more concerned with the loss of his valuable property than he is with the murder of his wife by Old Scratch. He shows no sympathy for those who come to him seeking loans, and instead bleeds them dry. Tom's values lie in the wrong place, and in the end he is punished for it. Tom embraces a a world of greed: the same world that the author sees America embracing. Tom Walker is known throughout the Charles Bay for his greed, and it is this greed that leads him to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for money. Tom's plight is meant to warn readers not to let greed blind them, for, as is the case in "The Devil and Tom Walker," it can have disastrous consequences.
