Hi, Im having little problem in parallelism. I know the rules very well, but Im not able to know what words should be parallel.
In 1995 Richard Stallman, a well-known critic of the patent system, testified in Patent Office hearings that, to test the system, a colleague of his had managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff's laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics.
Like in the question above, the decision point was the parallelism, but I was trying to to make parallel "an observation......" with "now included......". Which as wrong in the explanation given.
The correct parallelism was with "one of Kirchoff's laws......" and "now included...."
I go back and forth and get confuse which one to make parallel from the right hand side. Left one seems is quite easy to identify.

In this example, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics is the modifier. In this modifier, there are 2 things ("first made in 1845" and "now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics"). There is a bit parallelism in the underlined part though.
