1.) The correct answer for the first question is D. "having equal sides."

To determine the meaning of the word equilateral, we need to understand the Latin root "-equi-," which means "equal." This root gives us a clue that the word equilateral involves equality in some way.

Next, we need to consider the context of the sentence: "The box appears to be square, but I would have to measure its sides to prove that it is equilateral." Here, the speaker mentions measuring the sides of the box. This indicates that equilateral is related to the sides of an object.

Using our knowledge of the Latin root and the context, we can deduce that the best meaning for equilateral in this sentence is "having equal sides." Therefore, option D, "having equal sides," is the correct answer.

2.) The correct answer for the second question is D. "At the garage sale, we sold old, used, and unwanted items."

Parallelism refers to the use of similar grammatical structures or patterns in a sentence or a series of sentences. It helps create balance and rhythm in writing.

Looking at the options, the sentence that demonstrates parallelism is: "At the garage sale, we sold old, used, and unwanted items." In this sentence, the parallel structure is maintained by using the same format ("adjective, adjective, and adjective") to describe the items being sold. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

3.) The correct answer for the third question is B. "likewise."

Transitions are words or phrases used to connect and organize ideas in a coherent manner. A compare-and-contrast essay requires the use of transitions that highlight similarities and differences between ideas.

In this case, we are looking for a transition that specifically shows a comparison between ideas. The transition "likewise" is used to compare ideas and show that they are similar. For example: "I enjoy playing tennis, and likewise, my sister loves it too." Therefore, option B, "likewise," is the best transition to establish coherence in a compare-and-contrast essay.
