Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer would be C because the author uses repetition and parallelism  in the passage.

Explanation:

The statement that recounts the syntax employed in the given passage would be:

C). The author uses repetition and parallelism.

  • "Syntax" is defined only as the arrangements framed through various words, as well as, phrases in order to make a complete and meaningful sentence.
  • In the given passage, the third sentence correctly identifies the syntax employing the devices like repetition and parallelism.
  • The repetition(they) makes the idea more compelling while parallelism in the usage of verb forms("sprayed, pruned, grafted") helps give equal significance to various ideas and enhances their meaning and impact.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
