<span>Three of the men who almost made their way down to the Colorado river thought that the "boulders" they saw from below were "taller than the great tower of Seville." It is not Seville, but the Himalayas, that Dutton was thinking of. </span>
<span>I would rather spend my vacation in a big city

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
phrase.
Because alliteration is when the same sound (not necessarily the same letter) occurs at the beginning of a word or words that closely follow each other in the same sentence or poem line, we can see that with a "W" sound, the second line contains alliteration with the words "wanders," "watches," and "with." And, the fourth line contains alliteration with the "M" sound with the words "muster" and "men."

Explanation:
This summer was awesome. I did a ton of cool things and learned a lot.
In June I got a new SIMS game where you can make mermaids and go scuba diving in the ocean! I spent lots of time every day making new characters and watching them get mauled by sharks. It was super educational. Who knew that sharks are just as likely to attack a mermaid as they are a human? And that mermaids bleed red blood? I also designed some cool houses. Like 183 of them. Since I’m thinking of one day designing giant houses with many rooms that do not connect and backyards that contain every recreational item there possibly is, it was time well spent.
