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).

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

"Limericks are intended to give entertainment by making the listeners laugh. Part of that is to make the end syllables rhyme. Additionally, the words themselves even without their meaning should sound like its making fun of the subject. It is for these reasons that the priest changes the spelling of some words."
