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.
Answer:
b)parable
Explanation:
The parable is an allegorical narration based on folklore, which uses situations and people to compare fiction with reality and through this comparison convey a lesson of wisdom (the moral of the story).
The parable conveys an ethical lesson through a metaphorical prose, a symbolic language and differs from the fable because it is carried out by human beings.
