Answer:
C) Hard work and pride in one's work are more important than outward success.
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from "The Dancer's Dream," the narrator describes how Lily felt before auditioning in front of people. Moreover, the passage reveals her determination, her acceptance, and her realization of what's more important.
When Lily realized that <em>"her dream had already come true. She was a ballerina dancing on a stage . . . doing what she loved and the people she loved the most were there to see it"</em>, she knows she's achieved her goal no matter what the outcome of the audition may be. To her, being able to dance on a stage in front of her parents and Miss Emilie is the only thing important, worthy of every practice and long hours she'd spent.
This passage expresses the <u>central claim that hard work and pride in one's work matters more than outward success that measures one's efforts</u>. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Prepositional is a word that expresses a relationship between a noun/pronoun and another word in a sentence. Easier way to put it would be like saying you take a object or noun (ex: home) and also make up a location (ex: in), basically noun relation to a verb.
Example: <u>In my house</u>, you'll find my dog. House relates to where the dog is.

A series in parallel structure has to have the verbs and nouns in the same grammatical form. In the examples presented in the problem the answer is letter <u>D - Sarah went shopping bought a sweater, a dress and a coat. </u> The nouns are listed in the same way with the article "a": a sweater, a dress and a coat. So it has a parallel structure.
The answer A - Martin bought a bag of popcorn, a box of candy and soda at the movies is not the answer because the noun soda is missing the article "a" so that all of the nouns would be listed in the same way.
The answer B - The manager had to write his report, clean his desk and complete assignments quickly is also not the answer. All of the things being listed have the possessive "his" except assignments, so again, not all the nouns are listed in the same way.
The answer C - Tom picked up his books, his pens, his papers, and the jacket from the hoot. is also not the correct answer because the noun jacket is missing the possessive "his".
