Answer
The sentence is **not parallel**.### Explanation:Parallel structure means that elements in a sentence that are similar in function should also be similar in form. In this sentence:- "drove past the park" (verb + preposition + object)- "over the bridge" (preposition + object)- "and drove to the gas station" (conjunction + verb + preposition + object)The issue lies with the repetition of "drove" in the last part, which disrupts the parallelism. To make it parallel, you could revise the sentence as follows:**Corrected version:**"George drove past the park, over the bridge, and to the gas station."Now all three parts follow the same structure: preposition + object.
