Select the correct answer. which of these sentences uses correct parallel structure? a. after school, sheila either walks home or is taking a bus. b. every evening, jenny does her homework and then took her dog for a walk. c. on the airplane, shane read a book, watched a movie, and was playing his favorite music. d. before starting college, jake learned how to speak spanish and traveled across south america.

The correct answer is D. This sentence is a perfect example of parallel structure because either after and before AND it in both cases uses simple past tense verbs which are LEARNED AND TRAVELED. The other sentences never show parallelism due to their units are never the same. For example, in letter A , it uses a verb in simple present WALKS AND a progressive tense verb which is TAKING. So, to sum up, for a sentence to be considered parallel, it must be coherent in its structure and internal words. They need to have harmony and unity in tenses as well.

D. Before starting college, Jake learned how to speak Spanish and traveled across South America.

Explanation:

is this the question?

given the fact that the question is about the detail that best support the idea that oppressive leaders use   propaganda to achieve thir goals,   the first option does not refer to any kind of propaganda, since it only tells about that the milk and the windfall apple should be reserved for the pigs. in the second option, that is, "snowball and napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on the neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the rebellion, and teach them the tune of "beasts of england". it can be identified that the oppressors make use of the propaganda, which is represented by the pigeons, and the information they have to tell other animals about what was happening in the farm in order to get their objectives. for that reason, the right answer is the second option, taking into account that the third option do not refer to propaganda since it only talks about that they did not want jones back. and, finally, the last option refers to the result of the given news, but it does not mean about the propaganda they used to achieve their goals.
