What is wrong with this sentence and why? My colleagues supported my proposal for two reasons: first, it is practical and second, its simplicity. a. The sentence does not use parallel structure because "it is practical" and "its simplicity" are not parallel. b. The colon should be a comma because the phrases before and after are closely related. c. First and second should be in parentheses since they introduce items in a list.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
