Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. To maintain parallel structure, we need a noun - phrase. Since the original list has "shiny counters", "a clean floor", and "folded napkins", adding "filled napkin dispensers" keeps the parallelism as it is also a noun - phrase with an adjective modifying the noun.
  2. The original list has "Hawks" and "cats", which are both singular nouns representing predators. "Six - foot black snakes" is a noun - phrase that fits the parallel structure as it is also a predator.

Answer:

  1. filled napkin dispensers
  2. six - foot black snakes
