Identify the line containing parallelism

Line 3 ("Equal access, Equal justice") uses grammatical parallelism by repeating the word "Equal" followed by a noun ("access" and "justice").

Analyze the author's purpose

The repetition of "Equal" in line 3 emphasizes the core concept of equality, highlighting the fundamental demands of the march.

Evaluate the options

• Option 1: Line 1 does not contain parallelism.
• Option 2: Line 2 does not contain parallelism.
• Option 3: Line 3 contains parallelism ("Equal access, Equal justice") to emphasize equality. This is correct.
• Option 4: Line 4 does not contain parallelism.
