Read the excerpt from Shirley Chisholm's presidential announcement speech.
I have faith in the American people. I believe that we are
smart enough to correct our mistakes. I believe we are
intelligent enough to recognize the talent, energy, and
dedication which all Americans, including women and
minorities, have to offer.
Which idea does Chisholm illustrate by her use of
parallelism?
O her trust in people and her dedication to be a
champion of all people
O her connection to women and minorities as a symbol
of her campaign
O her ability to lead the nation in fixing the problems
created by previous leaders
O her commitment to promoting and supporting women
and minorities
