Water travels through the passages in a manner that is similar to water flowing through pipes in a plumbing system.

Explanation:

I believe this answer choice would best explain the use of the comparison because in the same sentence, the author is writing about the "system of underground passages," (which are filled with water) and this answer choice is the only one that actually discusses how the water travels through the system.

Identify the BEST parallel element in this sentence from Douglass' speech
Sergio [31]

d. "not morose, misanthropic, and revengeful, but cheerful, hopeful, and forgiving."

Parallel structure is using the same grammatical structure for elements in a list. This helps with the flow of the sentence and ideas, as well as aids the reader in seeing how the items are similar or different. In this case, the items in both lists are written as adjectives. This allows the reader to see the similarities among the that are grouped together and how the contrast to each other across the conjunction "but". The phrase "two hundred and fifty years" is not part of parallel structure in this sentence.
