D.

Explanation:

Form is a synonym for type. The text is expounding on the fact that the rudimentary sport, albeit different has been played in this country since the time of the early settlers.

Eliminate A. The text refers to baseball and not a document.

Eliminate B. The text does not refer to creating anything, simply tracing back in time how the sport was documented as present in common use.

Eliminate C. The text is not attempting to establish the beginning of the sport.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
