Answer: C) The novel is about a woman who is young, poor, and hardworking.

Explanation: parallelism 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. The given sentence has a faulty parallelism because the first two elements of the list (young and poor) are adjectives, while the last element is a verb and an adverb (works hard). The option that corrects this error is option C, because it changes "works hard" for "hardworking" which is also an adjective.
