Answer: I have my Bachelor's Degree in English and these are weird sentences to try to teach you parallelism, but here goes:\n\n1)  The students were questioning many rules and questioning how they should act.\n\n2)  William Blake uses rhyme and he uses moral(?) to express his feelings about the loss of innocence.\n\n3)  Mike both studied algebra equations and he studied how to conjugate two verbs in Spanish.\n\nI hope this helped you see what parallelism is.  After you use a conjunction like and, or, etc. you are linking two sentences together and should almost have a sentence that looks the same on the other side.  That's how I remember it.  I think a simple sentence is:  "He learned how to play the piano and he learned how to play the violin." \n\nGood luck :)
