Answer:

Parallelism is defined as the successive use of identical grammatical patterns of words, phrases or sentences.

Winston Churchill used parallelisms in his speech and they include:

“I would say to the House as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”

“I have a dream....”

These are example of Parallelism .

Parallelism helps in making statements clear, pleasant and persuasive.
