Question

which sentence best demonstrates the use of parallelism to connect ideas? 1 point \this responsibility does not rest only with elected officials.\ \but silence allows injustice to grow stronger.\ (paragraph 3) \surely, this generation is capable of shaping a more just future.\ \let us be the generation that chooses participation over apathy.\ (paragraph 7)

Explanation:

To determine which sentence uses parallelism, we analyze each option:

• The first option: "This responsibility does not rest only with elected officials." There's no parallel structure here.
• The second option: "But silence allows injustice to grow stronger." No parallelism.
• The third option: "Surely, this generation is capable of shaping a more just future." No parallelism.
• The fourth option: "Let us be the generation that chooses participation over apathy." The phrase "participation over apathy" uses parallelism as both "participation" and "apathy" are nouns, creating a balanced contrast.

Answer:

The sentence that best demonstrates the use of parallelism to connect ideas is: "Let us be the generation that chooses participation over apathy." (paragraph 7)
