A word to stand on its own would be a word that is a sentence on its own.
Words Like This Are: And, Eat, Play most adjectives. Because if your friend asked you what you wanted to do you would simply say "Play." or "Read." or such thing as your name can be a word to stand on its own. If you meet a new person and they introduce themselves and ask for your name, typically you are to say "Bob." or "John." or whatever you name might be.
Hope it helped.

Parallelism is the use of the components in a sentence that are the same grammatically or similar in construction, sound or meaning. It is used as a literary device in may works. Examples are "James ran into the garden, into the room and into our hearts.", "Like father, like son.", and "Easy come, easy go." In the excerpt this is the parallelism used "<span>There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails."</span>
They are not in the cartoon above because they wouldn't fit. i think that may be the correct answer.
