Will give brainliest for your ! read the email you received below and respond to it. dear participant, we have received your request for volunteering to seniors who live alone in the big cities. each year, some twenty foreign volunteers come to us improve the lives of the elderly and people with reduced mobility. these people often live alone and have no family visiting them. the purpose of your stay will be to visit these people, to discuss with them to bring them a daily presence. sometimes it will also be necessary to serve them, like doing some errands or a bit of housework. in order to complete your registration, we would like to know you better. -what dates would you be available and for how long do you want to volunteer? -have you ever lived in a big city and do you think you are mature enough to live in a big city, move around and shop? we appreciate your attention to our association. regards, madame solare.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
