In lines 15–18, the author uses a metaphor to show — that freedom is a desired state many people require to thrive

the importance of losing freedom so that it can flourish again

how freedom can be taken for granted by societies that have had it for a long time

when freedom is taken away, it must be reestablished once again

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

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

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have 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 all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the answer is the second one.

the third answer is right : )

i hope this you with your work! : )
