Explanation:

Using Parallelism in writing refers to repeating words, phrases or the grammatical structure of the sentence to give the sentence/s a feeling of cohesion and flow thus making it easier to read and understand.

Some famous examples include the following statements by past presidents; "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." by John F. Kennedy and "We've seen the unfurling of flags, the lighting of candles, the giving of blood, the saying of prayers." by George Bush.

Option A out of all the options lacks this principle of speech and hence does not support the idea that Thomes Paine  uses parallelism to strengthen his argument in The Crisis.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
