Respuesta :

Answer:

A) Parallelism

Explanation:

Parallelism (also knows as parallel structure or parallel construction) is a literary device in which phrases with a similar or identical grammatical structure are used to create emphasis, balance, clarity, pattern, or rhythm. Here, every sentence begins with the phrase Now is the time. This phrase is followed by the infinitive form of verbs (to + verb). This is why these sentences are an example of parallelism.
