Question 18 • GA-Literature and Composition II (Fakunle)

Which sentence contains parallel structure?

Answer
A
Children are the hope of the future; their ideas will solve tomorrow’s problems and conflicts.
B
We can hope for our children, hope for the future, hope for solutions and resolutions.
C
Our children will live to see a future in which their problems and conflicts are resolved.
D
Our children, in the future, will solve problems and resolve conflicts with their insights.

Explanation

Choice B uses the same grammatical pattern three times: “hope for” followed by a noun phrase (“our children,” “the future,” and “solutions and resolutions”). Repeating that structure creates parallelism. The other sentences do not repeat a comparable pattern as consistently.
