Answer:
D) I tried to drive before the light turned red, but stopped when it did
E) I tried to drive when the light was still yellow, but stopped when it turned red.
Explanation:
Given the fact that the question is incomplete and example 2 (which is said to be a garbled sentence, confusingly written) was not given, we can assume that it was talking about a person trying to beat the red light.
With this in mind, the two revisions below that would clarify its meaning are options D and E because they make the most sense.
Answer:
“I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. When I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.” So vows Chris Gardner, an earnest salesman and father desperately struggling to make ends meet on the hard streets of San Francisco in the early 1980s. But his chosen vocation, peddling expensive bone-density scanners that most physicians don’t want, has left him and those he loves hovering on the brink of disaster.
Day after unsuccessful day, Chris comes home to his dispirited girlfriend, Linda, and their 5-year-old son, Christopher. Linda pulls double shifts to stay within striking distance of solvency, all the while chastising Chris for his failure to provide. Predictably, she doesn’t think much of his latest brainstorm: securing an internship at the stock brokerage firm Dean Witter. Linda’s bitterness and negativity may wear on Chris, but they can’t dampen the weary salesman’s delight in his son. Christopher is the apple of Daddy’s eye.
Then Linda leaves Chris (and their son) for a job in New York. She’s barely out the door when Chris learns he’s been offered the coveted internship. The catch? It’s unpaid. Despite the financial risk, Chris decides to go for it, frantically juggling his schedule to get Christopher to and from day care each day. But dwindling savings quickly result in an eviction from their apartment. And then another from a motel. Soon, father and son are homeless, staying in city shelters on good nights and in public restrooms on the worst.
As his desperation mounts, Chris clings tenaciously to the hope that his hard work will eventually pay off. And his dogged pursuit of a better life forges a powerful father-son bond that no misfortune can destroy.
“You’re a good papa.” Those tenderhearted words from Christopher to his father as they spend the night in a homeless shelter poignantly capture the essence of The Pursuit of Happyness. Chris isn’t perfect, but one emotional scene after another clearly demonstrate his drive to protect and provide for his son. What won’t trip them up—and might even breathe new life into their own relationships—is Chris Gardner’s powerful, passionate pursuit of the best life possible for his little boy.

Essay title:
<em><u>What has really changed with the diseases?</u></em>
Explanation:
Some of the diseases that existed in the past still exist today, we can mention some examples such as:
tuberculosis, yellow fever and leprosy.
In the past, these diseases were difficult to control and as there was little scientific knowledge about the mechanism of action and spread of the disease, this caused these diseases to spread more rapidly. Today, thanks to advances in science, the mechanism of disease spread is already known, and it is also possible to take preventive measures more quickly to prevent their spread.
To make an analysis we can compare the yellow fever disease and the coronavirus, both diseases have some similarities, for example they were imported, the yellow fever from Africa and the Coronavirus from Asia, both diseases had a rapid spread, but as differences we can say that today we have a greater professional and scientific knowledge that allowed us to quickly create vaccines to prevent coronavirus, while with yellow fever the world had to wait until 1937 so that a vaccine against the yellow fever virus could be created.

Dear Friend,
It's me, (your name), and I just wanted to write you a letter to tell you about the vacation I'm going on to Philadelphia!
I really wish you were here, because the city is so exciting! I'm staying at my cousin (name)'s house in North Philadelphia. Her house is so big! She even has a walk-in closet with all kinds of different and very expensive clothes.
Tomorrow, we are going to go to Center City and visit the Liberty Place Shopping Center. I've heard that there are a whole bunch of stores in there. I went to their website, and they even have my favorite store, Bath and Body Works. I sure do love smelling all of the fragrances and lotions there!
After we do some window shopping, we will go farther into the city and stop at some Halal food trucks. I've always wanted to try some gyro. I can't believe I'm finally going to get the chance to try it!
I really wish you were here with me, and I hope you have a good summer vacation!
Best regards, (your name)
