Four sentences in this excerpt in which Marcy uses parallel structure are:
<span>"I think I will make a good president because I am honest, trustworthy, and I'm behaving responsibly"
</span><span>"I will set a good example for the school."
</span>
<span>"I will take your suggestions into consideration and try to implement as many as possible."
"I will convince the school board to install vending machines with healthier snacks in the school cafeteria and ensuring that they review the cafeteria lunch menu to include healthier meal options."
</span>
A parallel structure is when you write a sentence using the same exact pattern of words to make the audience aware that you mean what you are saying. For instance, in Martin Luther King's speech "I Have A Dream," he uses parallel structure in it to show that he's done with racial segregation that was occurring around that time:
<span>"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 quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."
</span>
As you see here, Martin Luther King Jr. was using parallel structure here, and so was Marcy during her campaign speech. Hopefully, this helps.
The difference between appearance and reality
I think it's B I'm working on the same course :)
