Answer 2

b. It emphasizes the narrator’s spirituality

Step-by-step explanation:

The effect of parallelism is connected to spirituality. Spirituality is visible in pictures od heaven and hell. The sense is emphasized and it can cause a better view of a narrator's feeling to something bigger than himself. The finding and describing spirituality is trying to find and express the meaning of life. It is a feeling that can be described with adverbs sacred or transcendent. This excerpt includes a hint of this feeling in the projection of earth and hell.
