The Education of Henry Adams - 2nd Reading, 4th question

I wouldn't even begin to know how to write a parallel sentence. I can however, write a short paragraph describing what the first long sentence does, etc.

It's basically describing what "...the fever..." does to most New England people when they get it. Then it goes on to tell that there were very few people who didn't have "The habit of doubt; of distrusting of his own judgement nd of totally rejecting the judgement of he world; the tendency to regard every question as open;..." Adams' brother were the type to get that, where as Adams himself was not.
