The correct answer is "Apostrophe, allusion".
The first three lines in Amy Lowell's poem "The Taxi", read as follows:
"When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum"
In poetry, Apostrophe <u>refers to a literary device in which the narrator adresses an absent figure</u>. In this case, the poet is speaking of <u>a certain person that seems to be elusive in her life</u>, which brings a great deal of grief upon her.
On the other hand, an Allusion is composed as <u>an indirect reference that is lacking in detail and feels vague</u>. These usually present themselves when the narrator is recalling a past event or figure that we have no information about. In the beginning of this poem, <u>the author introduces her longing for a specific person that we don't know</u>, displaying a clear case of Allusion.
Hope this helps!

The second option is correct, because the third and forth are positive about the narrator which is opposite of what the question is asking and the first option is made up.
