Question

adapted from four little words
by david chalk
the person appeared in the authors introduction is edward, international journalist, expose media
consulting.
what does it feel like to be censored from writing or speaking the truth? to be censored? americans
tend to be more litigious and, a little more in the first amendment to the united states
constitution, out of the press word. your local weekly business court decisions have banned the
government from censoring the media. of course, this is not to say that media personalities dont
endear to favorites. if those - if sins in many society - but it is far riskier than the government simply
trying to prevent the publication of an embarrassing story.
what if those four little words had never been written? indeed, lets go one step further - what if
your favorite or a publication had never existed? if there were no newspapers, radio, television, or even
the internet? such an outcome serves to show just how much we rely on journalists and their essential
role, the dissemination of information.
but i dont. it is likely that our views of events would be much more limited than in the real world. our
ability to make decisions concerning the issues around us would be on what we saw with our own
eyes or on what others told us. societies in such a world would feel the effect of insufficient america
as both backward - tempted and - perhaps not well - said, willing. if this is difficult to visualize, try to imagine
such a description of the assassination of president john f. kennedy would have occurred after 35
minutes later.
moreover, it is almost not just laws, governments, secret meetings a being would occur at regular
and discreet intervals. we would be machinery - administered to the events of the outside world. we would
not have a free press to challenge the powers - around us. it is highly unlikely we would find the time to
lot to be a part of something as trivial as a presidential - candidates history. should we have time to
reexamine the constitution in a citizens home or a barbershop? from stories of scandal are prepared to
give up our spare time to see if a candidate was running hard previously? probably very few of us.
what is the best example of the authors use of parallel structure in the
it is more than likely that these governments would begin to have discussions on their own and account and call
preferability and not on what was best for the people. the ability to escape the consequences of ones actions
would partly disappear. no government is perfect, and the ability to escape the consequences of ones actions
would, in turn, encourage their repetition. may all, indeed the internal inspiration of publications be published by
promote change without themselves publicizing their country? furthermore, who on the outside of government
needs know?
our ability to assess the actions of government during a time of crisis would also be severely hindered. how
could we assess the consequences of going to war, of sacrificing our soldiers, of spending astronomical amounts of
money on defense without some assessment of these actions? how could we judge that the cause was just or
that our enemies were being soundly? would we travel to remote hearings and ask for budget details, or
would we rely on others to do that job?

how could we assess the consequences of going to war, of sacrificing our soldiers, of spending
astronomical amounts of money on defense without some assessment of these actions?

Explanation:

To identify the best example of parallel structure, we analyze each option. Parallel structure uses similar grammatical structures for related ideas. The option "How could we assess the consequences of going to war, of sacrificing our soldiers, of spending enormous amounts of money on defense without some assessment of these actions?" has a series of prepositional phrases ("of going to war", "of sacrificing our soldiers", "of spending enormous amounts of money on defense") with the same structure, showing parallelism. Other options lack consistent parallel grammatical forms.

Answer:

The option: "How could we assess the consequences of going to war, of sacrificing our soldiers, of spending enormous amounts of money on defense without some assessment of these actions?"
