Select the sentence that illustrates the proper use of parallel structure. My father can cook, clean, and build a rocket. My father can cook, he can clean and build a rocket. My father can cook, he is good at cleaning, and build a rocket. My father can cook, clean, and he can build a rocket.

Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance.

D

It would be D.

C uses the word "good" to describe his cleaning skills, however, the other tasks were not paired with that particular word, therefore giving one task importance over the other, and eliminating the option for parallel structure. Do you follow?
