What is the function of a transitive verb? to direct action toward the sentence’s subject to define or rename the verb’s object to direct action toward the verb’s object

  To direct action toward the verb´s object.

Explanation:

  A transitive verb is one that only makes sense if it exerts its action on an object. Without an object to affect the sentence with the transitive verb will seem incomplete.

  They contrast with intransitive verbs that do not require an object to be understood.

  I hope this answer helps you.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

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

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have 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 all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
