Explanation:

Parallelism is exemplified as the fundamental proposition of grammar that serves to maintain the rhythm and balance of the sentence. It involves a structure that employs the use of words or ideas that are of equal significance and enhance the readability and flow of the sentence.

As per the rules, the conjunction 'rather than' involves parallel grammatical structure/construction on each side which is displayed in option D only('for recreation' and 'for competition'. Thus, option D is the correct answer as it proposes a parallel construction.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
