"the truth is," i said, "i promised to give them quilts to maggie, for when she marries john thomas."
she gasped like a bee had stung her.
"maggie can't appreciate these quilts! " she said. "she'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use."
"i reckon she would," i said. "god knows i been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. i hope she will! " i didn't want to bring up how i had offered dee (wangero) a quilt when she went away to college. then she had told they were old-fashioned, out of style.

Based on the above excerpt, the description which most likely describes the significance of the story's title is:

A. People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.

In the story “Everyday Use” there are three main characters, a mother and her two daughters Maggie and Dee. Maggie has been raised in the surrounding of their culture and Dee, on the other hand, has grown up under the atmosphere of Western culture. When Dee asks her mother to give her the quilts which have been preserved, her mother disapproves of it. She thinks that in order to preserve and connect to the culture one needs to continuously revisit the past traditions.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
