Which sentence in the passage contains an allusion? Jay never felt so scared in his life. He cursed himself for joining the amat

eur boxing club in his town. He was afraid because tonight he was going to be pitted against a fighter known as the Beast. Of course, Jay remembered that the Beast used to be called Little Ernie back in middle school. But the guy facing him tonight was a 180-pound machine. He’d be a prime contender for the heavyweight title. Jay couldn't remember seeing Ernie win any of his fights, though. He always had some bigger boys to fight in his place. But the boys swore that he was the Muhammad Ali of Nashville County. They recalled fights that lasted a single round; they said that Ernie knocked out every opponent with his legendary uppercut. None of this helped to ease Jay's fears. But he still had a lingering doubt. Was Ernie really as good as everyone said he was?

The answer: The sentence in the passage that contains an allusion is: <em>"But the</em> <em>boys swore that he was the </em><em>Muhammad Ali </em><em>of Nashville County."</em> The allusion is to the American professional boxer, one of the greatest boxers of all time. An allulion is a reference to something else, it can be an indirect reference to a person, but it's up to the reader to make the connection.

Stereotypes cause us to make incorrect assmutions about different groups of people.
