part a: what is the central idea of the text?

german nazis killed millions of jews and other minorities during the holocaust.

nazi germany used the holocaust to force people not born in the country to

leave.

nazi germany first targeted political objectors to maintain order during the

holocaust.

german nazis primarily persecuted citizens who they believed could overthrow

them.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

ok if it wasn't the hans one it was probably c or he thought the mountain was collapsing on them.

i think it is b. hope this !
