Identify the allusion in the following paragraph.

Harper had always been a curious child, wanting to know how things operated and what made them run. While watching her father install new light fixtures, she marveled at the intricacies of how electricity worked. She asked her father multiple questions to satisfy her curiosity. Harper's mother had warned her husband against answering every question as it would slow the installation process. "You're opening Pandora's box," she said.

A.  Electricity

B. Curiosity

C. Light fixtures

D. Pandora's box

The answer to this question is Pandora Box

Explanation:

To allude means to explicitly refer to or mention an external place, object, person, etc., which helps to explain or illustrate a point. This occurs in the paragraph when the mother says "You're opening Pandora's box" because Pandora's box, which is an object in a Greek myth that released disease, misfortune, and trouble, acts as an external reference to help the mother explain answering questions to Harper is a source of trouble.
