The verb form of “allusion” is “to allude.” So alluding to something is the same thing as making an allusion to it.
For example:
You’re acting like such a Scrooge!
Alluding to Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, this line means that the person is being miserly and selfish, just like the character Scrooge from the story.
<em><u>"The ruins of the once-thriving city feel dangerous and forbidding"</u></em> is the sentence that clearly presents the relationship between a poem's setting and its mood.
<u>Explanation</u>:
“The ruins of the once-thriving city feel dangerous and forbidding” is the sentence that describes the settings of the poem and makes the reader feel the mood of the poem.
The word <u>"ruins"</u> and <u>"once-thriving city"</u> indicates the city in which the narration takes place was famous and successful but now it is either overlooked or destroyed.
The term <u>"dangerous"</u> and <u>"forbidding"</u> mentioned in the poem clearly depicts that the pessimistic mood and mentions that the city is under risk.
