Review the sentence:
The hike through the canyon exhausted Kim. The steep incline made her thigh muscles throb, __________, and the relentless sun burned her skin.

The blank requires a short main clause. You chose aching shoulders from the heavy pack, which is a noun phrase followed by a prepositional phrase.

You thus have a parallelism error.
