Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:
Parallel Subjects/Structure eg. Mowing the lawn, trimming the shrubs, and edging the sidewalk.

If you flip the position of the words it would be the object, then the verb. Whereas if you do not flip it, it would be the verb then the object.

Though I am not sure as I am a beginner, but I hope it helps.

Answer 2

Option D. This sentence uses parallel subjects and verbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the sentence again. It states the following:

The wind blew, the leaves shook, and the birds flew away.

The words "blew," "shook" and " flew" are all verbs that have been used in front of the subjects wind, leaves, and birds.

Thus, the sentence uses parallel subjects and verbs.
