Question 4 (1 point) REVIEW: Parallel structure (also called parallelism) is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. This creates a pattern that readers can easily follow. Parallelism may involve one sentence with repeating phrase structures OR several similarly structured sentences.

DIRECTIONS: READ EACH SENTENCE/SENTENCE GROUP AND IDENTIFY EXAMPLES OF PARALLELISM.

EXAMPLE from "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King, Jr.: Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
