The author includes parallel sentence structures.
C
The author uses mostly short and choppy sentences.

The passage uses sentences of different lengths and structures. For example, the opening sentence is longer, while “It was a gift” and “A gift he’d had since childhood” are short fragments used for emphasis. The passage also includes a longer sentence with a semicolon and a question, so it is not made up mostly of short, choppy sentences or primarily compound sentences. The best answer is “The author uses varied sentence structures.”
