Answer:
It contains an analogy, an allusion, and technical language.
Explanation:
Let's first briefly define each of the given options.
Technical language is usage of the terms specific to a certain field or profession.
Analogy is simply a comparison between two things.
Allusion is referring to a certain thing without mentioning it, but rather indirectly.
Now, let's analyze the excerpt. We have the comparison of a chess game to Mike's bike adjustment, which is an analogy. We also have the term "rear sprockets" which is closely related to a bike's mechanics and not often used in everyday communication, so it can be classified as a technical lamguage. And, finally, we have Waterloo, a famous battle that represents Napoleon's final defeat. So by mentioning it, the writer suggests that Mike didn't want for his bike to turn into a catastrophe, or to cause him some accident, or to fall apart, but without directly using these words, but rather using the Waterloo as a symbol.
