Which phrase from the excerpt is an example of parallelism?

Explicação
Paralelismo é a repetição de uma mesma estrutura gramatical em sequência para dar ritmo e ênfase.
No trecho, a construção “of the people, by the people, for the people” repete o mesmo padrão (preposição + “the people”) três vezes:
- of the people
- by the people
- for the people
Isso cria uma estrutura paralela clara e intencional.
