Parallel structure (also referred to as parallelism) connotes uniformity in grammatical pattern in a sentence which creates a clear and easy to understand flow of multiple ideas with equal level of importance. It is a way to enumerate a list of items in a coherent manner.

Among the choices given and the definition, the correct answer to the question is: Stan is a voracious reader, an expressive writer, and a skillful painter.
