Solution

The sentence "People outside are pushing and shoving while he hums and cooks in the kitchen." is PARALLEL.

Here's why:

  1. The sentence is comparing two different actions happening at the same time - "People outside are pushing and shoving" and "he hums and cooks in the kitchen."

  2. In both parts of the sentence, the verbs are in the same form (present continuous - are pushing, are shoving, is humming, is cooking) which maintains parallel structure.

  3. The actions in each part of the sentence are also parallel - "pushing and shoving" corresponds to "hums and cooks". Both parts have two actions happening at the same time.

Therefore, the sentence maintains a parallel structure.
