Read the excerpt from Notes of a Native Son. In that year I had had time to become aware of the meaning of all my father's bitter warnings, had discovered
the secret of his proudly pursed lips and rigid carriage:I had discovered the weight of white people in the
world. I saw that this had been for my ancestors and now would be for me an awful thing to live with and that the
bitterness which had helped to kill my father could also kill me.
Which best expresses the connection that Baldwin makes between the historical context of racial prejudice and the
physical effects it has on his father?
His father's premature death-reflects the rapid disappearance of racial prejudice in early 20th-century America.
His father's immunity to stress reflects the immunity of African Americans to the effects of racial prejudice.
The tension in his father's body reflects the tension between oppressor and oppressed in early 20th-century America.
The weakness in his father's body reflects the weakness of the riot against discrimination in Harlem.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
