This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:
A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."
B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."
C. "Her walk was proud..."
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Answer:
The detail that contains an allusion is:
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Explanation:
As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.
The sentence that does not use slang or jargon is:
- After I arrived home from work, I plopped down on the couch and turned on the television.
<h3>What is slang?</h3>
Slangs are some kind of words that are used in informal situations. All the sentences above use slang and jargon, but sentence C does not use such informal language.
All the words used can be applied in formal language. Plopped in that instance means a clumsy way of sitting down. So option C is right.
