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).

What can you infer is Mallam Sile's motivation for choosing Abeeba to be his wife? Use two details from the story to support you
choli [55]

Sile must take into account the fact that, in terms of personality, Abeeba is totally the opposite of it. While he is a peacemaker, she is rigtheous. That's a big quality in their culture. The justice and rigtheousness. Sile must keep in mind that She helped him with Samadu. This shows the sile, that Abeeba cared for him. Enough reasons and motivations for him to marry her.

Answer :

A. Chekhov's use of the third-person limited point of view in "The Bet" allows him to describe the banker's self-contempt when the banker reads the lawyer's essay.

The banker had turned immoral after thinking about the consequences of the bet and intends to kill the lawyer to avoid paying him the money. The non-existent narrative voice in Chekhov's "The Bet" captivates the reader to delve into the mind of the banker and understand the feelings of self-contempt and disdain that he is experiencing upon reading the lawyer's essay.
