This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

He refused to believe either that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would save work.

Which of the following does Orwell use to link the parallel structures in this excerpt from Animal Farm?

A. correlative conjunction

B. coordinating conjunction

C. word to introduce a comparison

D. phrase to introduce a comparison

Answer:

What Orwell uses to link the parallel structures is a:

A. correlative conjunction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A conjunction is a word that we use to connect other words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. A correlative conjunction is basically a pair of conjunctions used to connect two ideas in a sentence. Examples of correlative conjunctions are: neither/nor; either/or; both/and; not only/ but also.

In the sentence extracted from Orwell's allegorical novella "Animal Farm", the correlative conjunction "either/or" is used to introduce the parallel structures "that food would become more plentiful" and "that the windmill would save work."

He refused to believe either that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would save work.
