Explanation:
This is so because a parallel structure can be defined as a writing device used to increase clarity in the meaning of sentence structures and improve their readability.
In order to achieve these goals we are allowed to use repetition of a grammatical pattern.
Over here we construct parallelism through mechanism of contrasting an action which is taking place inside and an action which is taking place outside; simultaneously.
