English

An allusion is a reference to a famous person or thing used to bring something to mind. 

For example,

When someone says they were "shot by Cupid's arrow", they mean they fell in love with someone, and Cupid is often used to reference falling in love. 

Hope that wasn't too confusing, lol.

HELP!! Please :)
Elza [17]

Explanation:

Hello !

When the author says, "Hulk is generally portrayed as what every normal human being is forced to become when pushed against the wall."

<u>The author is trying to explain the type of people we become under certain circumstances. When we feel like we have no choice, or we feel forced to do something we don't want to do, we often become something we don't want to be. We either become violent, make extremely horrible choices, or end up hurting ourselves and/or our loved ones. The author is trying to explain that Hulk feels the same way, he is often put in situations where he is forced to make an impossible decision, and just like humans, he often has to suffer the consequences as well.</u>

I hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any follow-up questions or need help, I'll be more than happy to help.

Have a wonderful night :)

What type of punctuation is not used internally in a sentence?
Illusion [34]
<span>The correct answer is A. The period is used only at the end of a sentence and is considered to give finality to a given sentence, providing a stopping place. The comma, apostrophe and quotation marks each provide a different functionality, and are used internally in a sentence. The comma is used to separate words. The apostrophe is used to indicate possessiveness. Quotation marks indicate a direct quote from a person.</span>
