Answer: B) The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Explanation: parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetiton of grammatical structures in a sentence or paragraph. In the given sentence we can see an example of a faulty parallelism because the grammatical structures "is a border" and "divides" aren't the same, they should both be in the same form, for this reason the correct answer is option B: The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey, they are both in present form.
