Question

Which of the following sentences most clearly uses allusion?

Answer 1

The answer is D. When it comes to giving people good advice, Jon is a regular Yoda. Allusion is when you say something in a passing fashion without actually making direct reference to it (a person, place, or thing.) Since you are calling Jon a 'regular Yoda' you are comparing him and making a sort of passing reference, but are not speaking directly about Yoda himself. So this is Allusion. Another example of an allusive sentence would be: When my uncle won the lottery he acted like a total Scrooge.

Answer 2

The answer would be D. When it comes to giving people good advice, Jon is a regular Yoda
