Parallelism is the use of the components in a sentence that are the same grammatically or similar in construction, sound or meaning. It is used as a literary device in may works. Examples are "James ran into the garden, into the room and into our hearts.", "Like father, like son.", and "Easy come, easy go." The correct answer is D. In class we learned about triangles and about the right way to measure their angles.
