Explanation:

An outline is a summary of the content that will be included in a text in which topic and subtopics are organized by using roman numbers (I, II, III), letters (A, B, C) or cardinal numbers (1,2,3) to show how ideas are connected to each other or belong to another idea, additionally, the ideas included in outlines should be parallel, which means they relate to a wider idea in the same way and follow the same grammatical structure, an example of this is that De-personalization of relationships in the outline shown here contains two ideas "Pharmacies" and "Banks" and both items are places and are related in the same way to the wider idea. Considering this, in the case of "Uniformity of culture" the most correct sub-idea is "loss of local ideas" as this idea also contains the idea "Pervasiveness of national franchises" and as this idea starts with a noun "Pervasiveness" the following idea should equally start by a noun which in this case is "loss", in this way both ideas have the same grammatical structure which shows they relate in the same way to the wider idea, while using different grammatical structures show a lack of consistency.
