Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelism is a form of using words in a sentence in such a pattern that reveals the same level of importance for the words. This can be applied either to words, phrases, or clauses also.

In simple words, parallelism can be defined as using two or more modifiers in a sentence that are joined together using the conjunction 'and' or 'or'.

From the given options the sentence that violates or avoids parallelism is option D as it does not create a pattern of parallelism.

So, the correct answer is option D.
