Answer 2

3. Apart from dabbling in playwriting, he has tried creating a great epic novel and composing a long, tragic epic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel structure creates a flow to a sentence because all clauses or phrases are structured in the same format. This can include using the same verb tense and verb ending. In number 3 all the verbs are in present tense and end in ing (dabbling, creating, composing). This creates correct parallel structure in the sentence.
