Question

Which of these phrases uses parallelism to create a sad tone?

A. Max is a great friend. He is a funny friend. And he is a faithful friend.
B. I will miss Max terribly. Such good times we have had. We will text. It won't be the same, though.
C. My friend Max is the wind beneath my wings! Everyone should have a friend like Max.
D. Today was the last day Max and I would walk to school together. The last day we would have lunch together.

Answer 1

D. Today was the last day Max and I would walk to school together. The last day we would have lunch together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelism occurs when the same grammatical structure is used throughout the text. In option D, the author repeats the same construction (the last day) to establish a melancholic tone over Max's future departure.

The rest of the choices are incorrect because either they do not possess parallelism or they do not create a sad tone.
