Nicolaus Copernicus was the first thinker to develop the sun-centered model, as shown in option A.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- During the Middle Ages, it was believed in a spatial model centered on the Earth.
- This model claimed that the Earth was the center of the universe and all other planets revolved around it.
- However, Nicolaus Copernicus when researching the stars realized that the sun was the center of the solar system and that the other planets, including the Earth, revolved around it.
Nicolaus Copernicus' model was not accepted by the Catholic Church, which dominated all branches of society at the time, and for that reason, he was heavily punished.

A parallel structure means that withing the sentence the same structure/scheme is used everywhere. So the correct answer is B. A cannot be correct as you have "BEING honest", "BEING courageous" and then just "compassionate". BEING was deleted. C is also incorrect as you have "BEING honest" and then just nouns "courage" and "compassion" - the structure has changed. It is the same case with D - "IS honest", "IS courageous" and then just "compassionate", without IS. And B is correct because we have three nouns "honesty", "courage", "compassion" - the structure remains the same.
Answer:
The man was about to be hanged.
Explanation:
Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" tells the story of how a convicted man was about to be hanged on the railroad bridge. The man, Peyton Farquhar, was a plantation farmer who was accused of trying to burn down the bridge during the Civil War.
The lines/ excerpt given in the question is from the first paragraph of the story which shows Peyton waiting for his death. The author/ speaker of the story is describing the scene and setting of the story, the exact point where we see Peyton (yet unnamed) waiting for the rope to be pulled which will finalize his death.
