This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:
A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."
B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."
C. "Her walk was proud..."
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Answer:
The detail that contains an allusion is:
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Explanation:
As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.
Explanation:
The word altruistic comes from the word altruism and suffix - tic. The word altruism means the principle and concern for other human's happiness. It is a selfless concern for the welfare of others. The term denotes a life attitude that includes selflessness, affection, love for another, and willingness to help another, at the cost of personal harm and sacrifice, without any compensation or outward reward. Altruism comes from the French word autrui, which means "other people".
The suffix -tic is used in adjectives of Greek origin, especially in the formation of adjectives from nouns.
The structure tells the reader that it is adverb that means helping and loving another human being. To be altruistic means to feel empathy for another and help and to love.

Explanation: I just guessed the Question??
Answer: In the first stanza, the poet's tone is sad and serious, disturbed, at not seeing anyone like herself in the magazines. She seems ashamed to be black.
In the second stanza the poet's word choices show a sense of pride: queenly, honey-colored, bronzed skin... The tone has shifted to confident and joyful. The images she describes-- nappy hair, thick lips... purple lips, shining pearls-- are part of who she is, and make her proud to be black, and should inspire the reader to see black as beautiful too.
