I got it wrong and this is the correct answer shown.

___________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

The two phrases, "to spin" and "to slide" are infinitive phrases. For a parallel structure, the third phrase in the sentence should also be an infinitive phrase. The correct answer is "to skid to a stop."

The conjunction both covers the two phrases, "for his camper" and "for the canoe," so it should come immediately before these phrases. The correct answer is "paid both."

The two words after the colon—focus and commitment—are nouns. For a parallel structure, the third word should also be a noun. The correct answer is preparation.

Rain is a noun. For a parallel structure, the two missing words in the sentence also need to be nouns. The correct answer is "sleet or snow."
