Answer:
A.) Paolo learned to play golf, paddle a canoe, and tie complicated knots.
Explanation:
<u>Parallel construction is found in sentences where several parts of the sentence are written in the same form. This not only makes the sentence grammatically correct but also makes it more coherent and flow better.</u>
We can break down each sentence to show which one has the correct parallel construction.
A.) Paolo learned to play golf, paddle a canoe, and tie complicated knots. This sentence is a good demonstration of parallel construction.
B.)I will feel proud if I finish in second place, but I regretted not earning the first place trophy. One clause of the sentence uses future tense, and the other clause uses past tense. This is not parallel.
C.) Claudette followed the flashlight's beam down the trail, and she tries not to bump into Khanh in front of her. Again, the tenses in this sentence don't match. One clause is past tense and the other is present.
D.) Her plate was piled high with grilled vegetables, a mound of minced garlic, and is heaped with crushed herbs. This sentence would be parallel if it was rewritten as, "Her plate was piled high with grilled vegetables, minced garlic, and crushed herbs." "A mound," and "is heaped" make all three of these different forms meaning it is not parallel.

In times past, the deeds of the hero were told in the form of an epic—a long narrative poem that recounts, in formal language, the exploits of a heroic figure from legend, religion, or history. Ancient epic poets and their audiences viewed their epics as records of their peoples’ early histories.
