Select the correct text In the passage.

Which sentence In this excerpt from Ernest Hemningway's "In Another Country" uses parallelism?
Then the
electric lights came on, and it was pleasant along the streets looking in the windows. There was much game hanging outside the shops,
and the
snow powdered I the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their talls. The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind
and the wind turned their feathers. It was a cold fall and the wind came down from the mountains.
In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more. It was cold in the fall in Milan and the dark came very early.

Answer:

There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the

snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails.

Step-by-step explanation:

In grammar, parallelism means having the right balance of phrases that have a similar grammatical structure. It has to do with the use of consecutive verbal constructions to match with sound, meter, or meaning. The sentence from the excerpt of Ernest Hemingway's In Another Country that makes use of parallelism is There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails.
