Which of the following is an example of parallelism?

  1. Running, skipping, and jumping

  2. Reading, writing, and arithmetic

  3. Laughing, singing, and dancing

  4. Talking, yelling, and screaming

The correct answer is: Reading, writing, and arithmetic

Parallelism is the repetition of grammatical structure in a sentence or phrase. Option B is the only one that contains a series of objects (reading, writing, and arithmetic) that follow the same structure. Options A, C, and D all contain verbs in the parallel structure but do not have the same objects being repeated.
