allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not describe in detail the person or thing to which it refers.

<em>a reference in a text to a well-known text, person, event, or thing</em>. This is the right option. The author makes the decision to refer to these items generally in an indirect way. For example, you should not wait as <em>Penelope</em>. Get out and meet a new man!.  Penelope is Odysseu's wife.

These are not correct options:

- words, events, or dialogue in a text that hint at a future plot development. This is called foreshadowing.

-a communication between characters that develops character or plot.  This is characterization

- incidents placed in a text by the author to mislead or trick the reader: This is plot device.

How do natural disasters affect landforms
Mariulka [41]
Natural disasters can affect land forms in many ways. For example, tsunamis can damage coral reefs, cause animal causalities, the ocean will be littered with trash, and there can sometimes even be some minor deforestation. Almost all natural disasters have one thing in common, if there are people living near the disaster, their homes and buildings will most likely be destroyed.

Maurinko [17]

Fragile - tenuous: Whatever they were in the mountains, they could be no more. However tenuous their well-being, however much they had suffered and would suffer again, they had found a way out of the wilderness.

Tenuous means fragile or delicate. After the people found their way out of the wilderness, they were most likely fragile from a lack of proper care and nutrition.

Lobby - beg and barter: In order to consummate the ancient sacrifice—to impale the head of a buffalo bull upon the medicine tree—a delegation of old men journeyed into Texas, there to beg and barter for an animal from the Goodnight herd.

The verb lobby means to persuade. In this passage the old men are trying to persuade someone for an animal.

Pensive - brooding: My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years, but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat, the dark brooding of old warriors.

Pensive means to be deep in thought. Brooding also means to be deep in thought but usually over something that has a negative outcome. The person brooding usually wishes to change what has happened.

Antagonist - Enmities: Some of them painted their faces and carried the scars of old and cherished enmities.

Enmities is another word for something that is hated, just like an enemy. An antagonist goes against a person or thing and is often hated or strongly disliked so this would be the best choice.
