Read the following excerpt from Patrick Henry's March 23, 1775, speech: Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have
produced additional violence and insult; our supplications
have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with
contempt, from the foot of the throne!
Which statement best explains how Patrick Henry uses parallelism in the
passage to influence the audience?
O A. Repeating the phrase "foot of the throne provides the crowd with
a constant reminder of the indignity of British rule.
B. The repetition of "our" is meant to make the audience feel part of a
community that has been wronged by Britain.
C. Using a repetitive structure in each sentence is meant to have a
soothing, almost hypnotic effect on the listeners.
D. By not going into detail about the slights the colonists have
suffered, Henry overstates the true threat of the British.

3one of the biggest impacts a building has on earth is the energy it uses. currently, most of the world’s energy comes from burning fossil fuels. these fuels are dirty and when they are burned they pollute the air and water. one way to burn fewer fossil fuels is to reduce the amount of electricity a building has to use. passive solar heating, which uses heat from the sun, reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to heat buildings. passive solar heating requires a south-facing wall made of glass. when sunlight shines through the wall, it is collected and used to warm the building. another way green buildings reduce their electricity use is to install other energy sources. for example, some green buildings use panels that turn energy from the sun into useable electricity. which is the best summary of paragraph 3? a) fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water. most of the world's energy comes from these fuels. b) the biggest problem of buildings is that they use fuel that is dirty for heating. they need to do something to be more energy efficient. c) panels that turn energy from the sun into electricity and passive solar heating can stop the burning of fossil fuels which pollute air and water. d) since fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water, other technologies that pollute less and produce energy have been developed like solar energy and green buildings.
