The correct answer is option 3: "Tonight, Shea read a short story, practiced soccer, and chatted with Betsy". Remember that whenever you need to use parallel structures, you have to use <u>the same tense or word pattern</u>. In option 3, you have three verbs. The three of them are in the past simple tense. Option 1, "Last evening, Shea read "The Necklace", study her physics, and to buy her prom dress" is not grammatically correct. That sentence presents different tenses and the verbs are not well conjugated. Therefore, It is not written in proper parallel structure. Option 2, "Yesterday, Shea bought her dress, had completed her calculus problems, and was talking to Bobby" is not grammatically correct either. Although the sentence is stated in the past, the order of the events is not clear and the verbs do not belong to exactly the same tense. To conclude, option 3 is the only sentence written in proper parallel structure.

Answer:
- Free Lights
- Free Music
- Free Education
Mary Antin considered free education as the most important thing.
Explanation:
Mary Antin (1881-1949) was a Russian Jew immigrant who in 1894 immigrated to America along with his parents and siblings. She in her immigrant autobiography "The Promised Land" talks about her own and her family's initial experiences as immigrant settler in Boston's West End slum.
She talks about three things which were free then in America in contrast to Russia, these three things are;
Free Lights: <em>"Light was free; the streets were bright as a synagogue on a holy day."</em>
Free Music:<em> "Music was free; we had been serenaded, to our gaping delight, by a brass band of many pieces soon after our installation on Union Place."</em>
Free Education: "Education was free. That subject my father had written about repeatedly, as comprising his chief hope for us children"
She talks about free education the most and considers it the most important free facility as displayed by her words, <em>"the essence of American opportunity, the treasure that no thief could touch, not even misfortune or poverty. It was the one thing he was able to promise us when he sent for us; surer, safer than bread or shelter."</em>
