An allegory is a literary technique that is somewhat like an extended metaphor and the goal of an allegory is to present a complex social problem by figurative meaning in order to grasp the full extent of the problem. A famous example of this can be the allegory of the cave as created by Plato where the idea of understanding the true nature of world is presented through people sitting in a dark cave. When they leave the cave, they are blinded by the sun but eventually they learn to see the world properly. He used this allegory because he believed that common people who don't work on themselves and only take things without thinking about them is similar to sitting in a dark cave and that illumination can be difficult but ultimately achieved.
Ambiguity is a literary technique that is used in order to present a plethora of different meanings without any meaning being the true one. It is great for trying to better explain issues that are not clearly presented as black and white. An example of this might be a debate on ethics and the nature of morality. Ambiguity can be used here because it is highly difficult to precisely and in a normative way to present what is good and what is bad and to describe why anything might be or might not be good or bad.

It depicts the indifference of the witnesses, who were busy engaging with their pursuits to bother paying attention to the fact that Icarus had just fallen. Since Auden's poem is written in honor of the painting, (D) would be the best answer if the painting instead depicted the witnesses' concern over what is happening instead of indifference.

Answer:
It was told in the present tense to give an illusion of realism. This affected the reaction of some people by making them believe that it was truly happening.
Explanation:
There were two significant changes between the novel and radio adaptation. One was the change of place on which the story took place, in the novel the action was in England while in the Welles´s broadcast happened on United States soil.

Wells used the past tense to told a fictional story that had already happened. But in the radio version the tense used was present to be more realistic and persuade the audience that the action was happening on that same time.
