read the passage.\n(1) ask young people today if they know of anyone who has had smallpox, and they might ask, \whats smallpox?\ (2) that is because this disease was eradicated from the planet decades ago, thanks to vaccinations. (3) despite the obvious effectiveness of vaccination, opponents of this procedure argue that humans are better off fighting diseases on their own without adding anything potentially harmful to their bodies. (4) still, the american academy of pediatrics says that vaccines can be 99 percent effective, and the centers for disease control claims that, over a 10 - year period, vaccines allowed 322 million children to avoid illnesses. (5) so the next time someone tells you that vaccines are poisoned apples that will lead to a fate like snow whites, counter their argument with the facts. (6) the bottom line is that vaccines are safe to use and save lives.\nhow can the writer add parallelism in this passage?\nby changing the phrase young people tomost people in sentence 1\nby deleting the words obvious and potentially from sentence 3\nby deletingsave lives and adding the phrase easy to administer to the end of sentence 6\nby shortening the passage to only five sentences by removing sentence 5

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Parallelism in writing means using the same grammatical structure in a series of words, phrases, or clauses. In sentence 6, "safe to use" is an adjective - infinitive structure. If we change "save lives" (verb - noun) to "easy to administer" (adjective - infinitive), we create parallelism. Changing "young people" to "most people" (option 1) has nothing to do with parallelism. Deleting "obvious" and "potentially" (option 2) is about word choice, not parallelism. Removing sentence 5 (option 4) is about text length, not parallelism.

Answer:

by deleting "save lives" and adding the phrase "easy to administer" to the end of sentence 6
