Answer:

A: Allusion

Explanation:

 The figurative language used in this passage from "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is <em>Allusion </em>, which is the reference made by the authors to make you think of a particular thing or person, usually related to their own work.  It is just a passing or brief comment without describing details, but the writer expects the reader to be somehow familiar with it. In this case, there are several Bible passages that talk about people being called to carry  God's message.

Allusion.

Both examples come from the Bible. The first comes from the Old Testament and the second from the New. You have to be a little knowledgeable of the Bible to catch on to either one of them (or be good with Google).

Before this i was not unacquainted with the more obvious laws of electricity.What does this line explain about the character?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This line is not talking about his morals, or interests in general. So, from the given answers C and D are off the list from the possible answer. Now, because it says " not unacquainted", it is leaning toward the fact that he had basic or any kind of knowledge beforehand. So, the right answer indeed is A.
