Respuesta :

In my opinion, the correct answer is B. Sheila visited Paris last summer and climbed the Eiffel tower. A parallel structure in a sentence requires use of two or more instances of the same grammatical form; so, if it is, for example, simple present tense, it should be consistently used in all the clauses. In this case, we have perfect tense in both clauses, which makes these two actions parallel.

Answer:

B. Sheila visited Paris last summer and climbed the Eiffel tower.
