    B. The Declaration of Independence was bold, outrageous in attitude, and it provoked the anger of the king.

    Explanation:

    When there are two modifiers in a sentence that are used together and is joined by a conjunction and there is one phrase in the sentence and the other is a clause with a verb, the common parallelism problem in a sentence arises.

    Thus the following sentence from the list avoids the parallelism problem:

    B. The Declaration of Independence was bold, outrageous in attitude, and it provoked the anger of the king.

    Thus the answer is B. The Declaration of Independence was bold, outrageous in attitude, and it provoked the anger of the king.
