select the correct text in the passage.
which sentence in this excerpt from ernest hemingway’s “in another country” uses parallelism?

in the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more. it was cold in the fall in milan and the dark came very early. then the electric lights came on, and it was pleasant along the streets looking in the windows. there was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails. the deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers. it was a cold fall and the wind came down from the mountains.

Explanation:

To identify the sentence with parallelism, we analyze each:

• "The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers" has parallel structures: "stiff and heavy and empty" (adjectives for deer) and the two clauses about small birds and wind, with repeated verb - noun structures ("blew in the wind", "turned their feathers") showing parallelism in the way actions and their contexts are presented. Other sentences lack this balanced, repeated grammatical structure.

Answer:

The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers.
