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.

The nineteen year-old girl had just made her fourth score in her soccer game, the fourth goal winning the game. She looked over and saw her cousin applauding her from the sidelines, a present, which excited her, tucked under her arms.
After the game, the girl walked over to her cousin, took the present, and opened it. Inside was a beautiful necklace with a soccer ball as a pendant. It had a charm to it, the girl saw. Her cousin patted her on the back and congratulated her, grinning as he did so.
Later, the teenage girl sat at her computer, looking at the format with the new picture of the necklace she had just downloaded. She turned and saw the portrait of her parents on her bedroom wall. Then, she smiled. Turning back to the computer, she started to play a game. The goal was to merge two circles together by tapping rapidly. If you didn't merge the circles in time, they would squirt black ink in the player's face.
After getting bored with the game, the girl began her homework. She only had one vocabulary word left: Sermon. Getting stumped with the word, the girl made a verdict, or decision, to look up the word.
Turning on her phone, she saw that the screen was quite bleary. She silently cursed, but then took out her packet of homework and a pencil. At the top corner of the first page was an earthworm with a top hat, saying, "Learning is fun!"
The packet was on Mathematics, so the girl thought that she was never going to get it done. She had only recently learned, for about the thousandth time, angles. She already knew about acute, obtuse, and right angles, yet the teachers still force her to work on them. She didn't have a protractor at hand, so she couldn't do some of the questions. On the next page, a set of printed 3D shapes were placed on the paper. There was a cone picture, too, with only one vertex. Next to the cone were two congruent cubes.
After finishing the packet, the girl went to bed, very tired.

Which two sentences use coordinate adjectives?

taurus [48]

The two sentences that use coordinate adjectives are "The dark, musty cellar..." and "The dark-haired, hazel-eyed baby...", options A and C as explained below.

<h3>What are coordinate adjectives?</h3>

First, we must remember that adjectives are words that modify nouns by giving them a quality. Examples of adjectives are:

Beautiful

Smart

Silly

Coordinate adjectives are adjectives that have the same importance in the sentence and that modify the same noun. They appear in a row and are separated by a comma. Since they have the same importance, their places can be swapped without harming the meaning of the sentence.

That is the case with options A and C. There is a comma separating the adjectives "dark" and "musty" in letter A, and "dark-haired" and "hazel-eyed" in letter C. In both cases, the adjectives can be swapped without any problems.
