Which of the following excerpts from The American Crisis uses parallelism? A. There are persons, too, who see not the full extent of the evil
which threatens them. They solace themselves with hopes that
the enemy, if they succeed, will be merciful. It is the madness of
folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice.
B. Were the back counties to give up their arms, they would fall an
easy prey to the Indians, who are all armed. This, perhaps, is what
some Tories would not be sorry for.
C. Once more we are again collected and collecting. Our new army at
both ends of the continent is recruiting fast, and we shall be able
to open the next campaign with sixty thousand men, well armed
and clothed. This is our situation, and who will may know it.
D. I thank God, that I fear not. I see no real cause for fear. I know our
situation well, and can see the way out of it.
