parallelism in mlks i have a dream speech
those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolutions, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. we mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. for the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. we have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding
which of the following is an example of parallelism?
\...but by banner of freedom and peace.\
\we mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it.\
\for the eyes of the world now look into space...\

Explanation:

Parallelism is a rhetorical device where similar grammatical structures are used. In the sentence "We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it", the structure "we mean to..." is repeated, creating parallelism. The other options do not show this repeated grammatical structure.

Answer:

"We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it."
