Answer:
The literary device used in this sentence is hyperbole.
Explanation:
<u>Hyperbole is a literary as well as rhetorical device that uses exaggeration to express a feeling, an action, or an idea. The purpose is to inspire strong feelings or impressions in one's audience. </u>That is the case in the sentence "I love you so much I think of you a billion times a day." <u>What this speaker actually means is that he/she thinks a lot about a certain person. </u>However, not only is it impossible to know how often you think of someone, it is also impossible to think of anything a billion times in just one day. <u>There is clear exaggeration here with the purpose of emphasizing the frequency of thoughts related to beloved person.</u>
The correct answer is the last ("<span>Fortunato wants to continue their descent into the vaults for the Amontillado."). This is correct because the narrator has tempted Fortunato into retrieving the bottle of alcohol (which didn't really exist) so that Fortunato could be locked away, never to be seen again.

Answer:
The correct sentence is:
Before 8 a.m., traffic is light; however, at 5 p.m., Fred always wishes that he drove a bulldozer to push other cars out of his way.
1. light;
2. No change is necessary
Explanation:
In the sentence above, a semicolon is used after the word light, to denote that two contrasting clauses are to be beside each other in the same sentence.
The use of however which is a conjunctive adverb and a comma after it is fine and should not be changed because it is used to link together two independent clauses.
