Answer: D) Before going on their trip, Anne and Jill need to get visas, book a hotel, and pack their bags.

Step-by-step explanation: parallelism or parallel structure is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the grammatical structure of different words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph, in order to emphasize an idea or to create an impact in the audience. From the given options, the revision that fixes the mistake in the sentence, is the corresponding to option D, because the elements of the list have the same structure ("get visas," "book a hotel," and "pack their bags").
