Which two phrases, taken together, are an example of parallelism? excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms Speech On J
anuary 6, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to Congress about the potential effect that World War II might have on the United States and its policies. His address has since become popularly known as the Four Freedoms Speech. Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small. And the justice of morality must and will win in the end. Our national policy is this: First, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to all-inclusive national defense. Second, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to full support of all those resolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our Hemisphere. By this support, we express our determination that the democratic cause shall prevail; and we strengthen the defense and the security of our own nation. Third, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to the proposition that principles of morality and considerations for our own security will never permit us to acquiesce in a peace dictated by aggressors and sponsored by appeasers. We know that enduring peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people's freedom. . . .
"And the justice of morality must and will win in the end."
"By this support, we express our determination that the democratic cause shall prevail;"
Explanation:
These two sentences represent parallelism, because the first goes to infer the second. There are other points in the speech where Roosevelt repeats his main point of morality, but this repetition is not representative of a parallels idea. Whereas the two quoted lines placed together can be interchanged to convey the Roosevelt's meaning/message.
