Question 3 • CREDIT RECOVERY - ELA 9 - Summer

Which statement identifies the impact parallelism can have when used in a speech?

Answer
A
Parallelism keeps the audience members in a highly emotional state so that the speaker can use their emotions against them.
B
Parallelism keeps information organized, provides emphasis, and oftentimes adds rhythm.
C
Parallelism is used to speak to the audience members with the lowest intelligence and most limited education.
D
Parallelism is used when speakers want to sound scholarly and important so that they can build confidence.

Explanation

Parallelism repeats a similar grammatical structure in related phrases or ideas. That structure helps listeners follow how information is organized, highlights key points, and can create a memorable rhythm. The other choices describe manipulation or assumptions about the audience and speaker, not the usual impact of parallelism.
