Answer

Brief Explanations:

To create parallel structure, the two parts of the sentence (about the board being narrow and foldable) should have a similar grammatical structure. Option 2 has "was narrow so it could be placed..." and "foldable so it could be stored...", which are parallel in structure (using "so it could" for both purposes).

Answer:

  1. Her board was narrow so it could be placed inside sleeves and foldable so it could be stored after use.
