“take long walks”
“go swimming”
“old movies on video”
“play board games”

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The phrase “old movies on video” does not create a parallel structure as it needs the verb “watch” in order to fit with the pattern.

“When vacation time comes, we’ll take long walks, go swimming,  watch old movies on video, and play board games.”
