1.) Why does Atwood use the verb "conjure" instead of "make" or "bake"?

Hello. You have not entered the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is likely that this text is referring to a recipe, in this case, we can assume that if Atwood used the word "conjure" instead of "make" or "bake", it is because she is referring to this recipe as a magic ritual that intends to invoke something spiritual, divine, like the bread or cake that this recipe may be referring to.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
