Explanation:
Parallelism consists of the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence with the purpose of avoiding confusion. Parallel structures make the speech clear, interesting, and easy to understand. Now, let's correct the sentences that do not contain proper parallel structures:
1. In 1031, the Japanese began to recycle and then repulsed their paper. - In 1031, the Japanese began <u>to recycle</u> and then <u>to repulse</u> their paper (now both verbs have "to" before them).
3. One of the early purposes of the Salvation Army was to collect, sorting, and recycling used or unwanted items. - One of the early purposes of the Salvation Army was <u>collecting, sorting, and recycling</u> used or unwanted items (now, all the verbs listed have -ing).
4. Today, neighborhoods are filled with dark green cans for trash and bright blue cans in order for people to be able to recycle. - Today, neighborhoods are filled with dark green cans <u>for trash</u> and bright blue cans <u>for recyclables</u> (now, both times the word "cans" is used, it is followed by "for + noun").
