Which sentence from a student narrative shows the correct use of parallelism?

Answer
A
Before Peter's parents returned from the movies, he had to cook dinner, do the wash, and the floor had to be swept.
B
On the weekends, Kylee's likes to skateboard, watch movies, and hanging out with friends.
C
Andrea knew that riding a bike would require balance, patience, and to have fast reflexes.
D
Sami prefers wearing shorts, T-shirts, and flip-flops to wearing suits, ties, and shoes.

Explanation

Parallelism means using the same grammatical form for items in a series or comparison. Choice D compares “wearing shorts, T-shirts, and flip-flops” with “wearing suits, ties, and shoes,” keeping the structure consistent. The other choices mix forms, such as “cook dinner” and “do the wash” with “the floor had to be swept” in A.
