.Which word uses the detail of touch as an example of sensory language in the paragraph? A bright light filtered into the room where Miguel was staying. He was writing his last letter before the train came. A rough hand tapped him on the shoulder, and he jumped straight into the air.

the correct answer is c. the use of consistent patterns that keep the elements in a series in the same form.

  parallel structure, also known as parallelism, is the use of the words in a sentence with the same patterns to attain the same importance for each word. it should be used when connecting words, such as for, and, or etc. are present. one example is: paul likes playing soccer and to swim. (not parallel). paul likes playing soccer and swimming. (parallel)
