Explanation:

Non-parallel grammatical structures involve the use of verb forms that do not have the same base form when comparing two or more things. For example, this sentence uses verb forms that do not have the same base forms:  Running, swimmers, and basketball players are all athletes, just different kinds. The verb, running, is not in the same base form as swimmers and players.

Parallel grammatical structures make comparisons with verbs that are in the same base forms. Example is; Robbins profiles three successful adults who were rejected, mocked, and bullied in high school because they were different. Rejected, mocked, and bullied are all in the same base form.
