Parallelism is the process of repeating a grammatical form in the sentence. Each idea must follow the same grammatical pattern. In this question <em>When things go wrong, Carl tends to brood for hours and to blame others </em>is a correct option because it is grammatically correct parallelism. <em>After watching some TV, I was talking to my daughter and read e-mail </em>is not an example of parallelism because of the irrelevance of the tenses. <em>The school was closed not only because of the snow and ice but also because of the lack of heat</em> is parallelism because we have the same grammatical structure in each part with this conjunction.<em> The ice was a greater problem for the electrical power company than for the natural gas company - </em>In this clause of comparison the structure of parallelism is also correct.

The sentences that use parallel structure are the first two sentences:


When things go wrong, Carl tends to brood for hours and to blame others. After watching some TV, I was talking to my daughter and read e-mail.


For sentences to be considered parallel, they will need to have similar construction. If we look at these two sentences, we can see they both begin with subordinate clauses and are followed by independent clause. It is because these two sentences have identical structure that they are considered parallel.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:  

1. Cathartic (arousal of emotions)

2. Self-purification

3. Logic and harmony in thoughts.        

Explanation: Gandhi was a leader, mentor, and an authority in himself. His ideals are still being used for reference. The way he used to drive the audience mad through his impressive speech pattern and techniques to follow his principles is miraculous. His impressive speech pattern and techniques used to connect to the audience via arousing their emotions (Cathartic in Aristotelian term) as the subjects of his speech are more often dominated by the personal experiences and talks about morality, truth, non-violence, harmony, etc. These subjects developed a sense of credibility and authenticity among the audience towards him. Lastly, <em>his ideals were quite logical and reasonable which made his speech very persuasive in nature</em> and thus, he was successful in delivering his message to his audience's mind and heart throughout.
