The statements that best conveys the meaning of the allusion is: By referring to the lighting-rod man as Mr. Jupiter Tonans, a pagan god, the narrator is calling the salesman a pagan as well." (Option D)

<h3>What is an Allusion?</h3>

When a writer refers to something indirectly or in a way that certainly calls up an image to mind without directly describing such thought or idea, it is called an Allusion.

Because Jupiter is known as the god of sky and thunder, it is correct to stat e that the statements that best conveys the meaning of the allusion is: By referring to the lighting-rod man as Mr. Jupiter Tonans, a pagan god, the narrator is calling the salesman a pagan as well."

how are the two arguments made in the passages different hey the first passage claims that pets in class will help children with
sattari [20]

There are two main ideas for each passage, in the first one it mentions the positive outcomes of having a pet in class; it can help children with health problems and nervousness in students will decrease. In this sentences it supports the idea of a pet in class, saying the positive results of it and how it helps or it will help children.

In the second passage it mentions the negative outcomes of having a pet in class; they will make some health problems worst and the nervousness in students will increase around them. These two ideas are against the possibility of having a pet in class, mentioning how it will affect students instead of helping them.

What makes these two passages different is the opinion towards one main idea: pets in class. One passage supports it and one is against it.

An example of kenning for king hrothgar from beowulf is
Yuri [45]
 <span>Simply put, a kenning is a way of describing something without actually mentioning what it is. A metaphor, if you like. 

For instance,  

Slaughter dew = Blood 
Sleep with the sword = Death 
Swan of blood = A Raven 

Therefore your answer must be A or B 

Although I'm not completely certain, I would guess that King hrothgar is a 'Shielder of shield bearers', as he is a king. 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. 

Good luck.</span>
