Explanation:

To determine the correct parallel structure, we check each option:

• Option a: "to sing, paint, and to play" mixes infinitive and base form; not parallel.
• Option b: "a sandwich, an apple, and a cookie" are all noun phrases; parallel.
• Option c: "to shop, go hiking, spend" – "to shop" is infinitive, others are base forms; not parallel.
• Option d: "visiting, to eat, buying" – "to eat" is infinitive, others are gerunds; not parallel.

Answer:

B. Evelyn had a sandwich, an apple, and a cookie for lunch.
