Parallel structure refers to having the same
structure or parts of speech in the same sequence and function. In the sentence,
the parallel structure that needs to be paired with is “in a big city” which is
a prepositional phrase; so, the choice that has the same format is “in a
mountain cabin” which is also a prepositional phrase. “To go,” “staying,” and “being”
are obviously different for they are either an infinitive phrase or participial

The Odyssey is Homer's epic of Odysseus' 10-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War.

The Outsiders are about a journal entry that the main character Ponyboy is writing for his English Homework. He is part of the group called the Greasers. Another group are the Socs and they are enemies. One day Ponyboy and his friend Johnny find themselves in trouble with the Socs. While they are fighting, Johnny takes out his knife and stabs Bob, fatally killing him. They run away to an abandoned church, where they stay a couple of days. Soon, Dally picks them up and they see that the church is up in flames and some kids are trapped in there. They go rescue them but a giant piece of wood falls on Johnny and is sent to the hospital. The rest of the gang is there and Johnny is charged for killing Bob. Because of the Socs and the Greasers have a fight. The Greasers win. Unfortunately, Johnny dies in the hospital and Dally robs a store because of this. As he is running with the merchandise, he is hot by the police. The story ends just how it started as Ponyboy is writing his journal entry about these vents.
