Parallel structures
Correct! There are no sentence fragments (incomplete sentences) in this passage; nor are there any run-ons, where one sentence runs into the next. Balanced sentences contain two clauses, similar in form and length; this technique is not used. The effective device here is the use of parallel structures: all four of the sentences begin with the words “He thought about.”
