Which sentence correctly uses parallel structure?

im sure its A

The sentence that correctly uses parallel structure is the third one: My best friend likes watching movies and playing basketball.

Explanation: A parallel structure is a construction that repeats the same pattern of words or grammatical form. The third sentence ("My best friend likes watching movies and playing basketball") uses parallel structure correctly because it includes the-ing form of the verb twice after the verb "likes". In contrast, the second and fourth sentences mix the -ing form of the verb and the to-infinitive form, while the first sentence includes a noun and a verb in the -ing form. In that way, the third sentence is the only one that presents the same grammatical form twice and; therefore, the only one that uses parallel structure correctly.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
