Question

Reread the following paragraph from the excerpt.

So let us begin anew—remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

How does President Kennedy use parallel structure to get his point across?
A.He repeats words to emphasize why the United States should never negotiate.
B.He repeats words to emphasize why the United States should maintain its civility.
C.He repeats words to emphasize the conditions under which the United States will negotiate.

Answer 1

I think the answer would be B. Because of the fact that civility is neither a weakness nor is it to be feared. 

Answer 2

Your answer, I believe, is most likely C: He repeats words to emphasize the conditions under which the USA will negotiate.
