Answer 1

the correct answer is b

Answer 2

Answer:

Both parabolas and fables are part of modern literature, especially for children

Explanation:

A fable is a short story that uses animals or inanimate objects to represent people and to tell a simple story with a moral message hidden; a parable on the other hand, is a brief story used to represent a religious lesson or principle through ordinary people with moral dilemmas, and the consequence of its actions.

The main similarities between fables and parables are that both intend to pass a moral lesson in a short story, especially to children, and both date to ancient times where they were passed through verbal communication, and belong to modern literature.
