Answer 1

The paragraph that contains parallel structure is:

“Running cross country makes you strong and fit. Running over an uneven trail or across a grassy field gives you a better workout. And best of all, it is never boring.”

A parallel structure is a literary device which consist of a repetition of some pattern of words. In this particular paragraph the repeated statement is “Running ……..makes you…..” and “Running………gives you…….”
