Answer 1

The first and second sentences.

Answer 2

The sentence that uses parallel structure is the first one "While making a necklace for her daughter, Sharon strung sparkly beads, added heart charms, and attached a silver clasp."

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel structures are sentences, phrases or words that use the same grammar pattern.

These words or phrases use the same grammar structure as in example one that uses the structure "verb in the past, adjective and noun". Example: "strung sparkly beads, added heart champs, and attached a silver clasp"

The rest of the options are incorrect since the grammar structure is not the same. In each of the options, there is a break in the grammar pattern.
