Review: an allusion is an indirect reference an author makes to something else in history or literature. Which of the following

sentences has an allusion?
" May not & ought not the children of these fathers rightly say : Our faithers were Englishmen which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this willdernes; but they cried unto ye Lord, and he heard their voyce, and looked on their adversitie…"


" Being thus passed ye vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before in their preparation (as may be remembred by yt which wente before), they had now no friends to wellcome them, nor inns to entertaine or refresh their weatherbeaten bodys, no houses or much less townes to repaire too, to seeke for succoure."


" Let it also be considred what weake hopes of supply & succoure they left behinde them, yt might bear up their minds in this sade condition and trialls they were under; and they could not but be very smale."


" And no marvell if they were thus joyefull, seeing wise Seneca was so affected with sailing a few miles on ye coast of his owne Italy; as he affirmed, that he had rather remaine twentie years on his way by land, then pass by sea to any place in a short time; so tedious & dreadfull was ye same unto him."

Setler [38]

B. Emit


The first thing to do for questions like these is determine the relationship the first two words have with each other. Because “exhibit” and “display” both mean “to show,” they are synonyms. As such, the word pairing with “send” should be its synonym. One possible meaning for “send” is “transmit.” As such, the word in the options that means “transmit” is “emit,” which is the correct response.

3. PART A: What does the phrase "lily of a man" most closely mean as it is used in line 3? A. a romantic lover B. a French noble
umka21 [38]

The phrase "lily of a man" as it is used in line 3 of Gary Soto's poem most closely means an anxious weakling, as is said in option C and explained below.

To find the answer, we used our knowledge of context clues.

<h3>What are context clues?</h3>

Context clues are any words or phrases that help us figure out the meaning or connotation of other words or phrases in the same context. Here, we need to understand the meaning of "lily of a man."

The context clues used for that is "A coward I am not," the phrase that comes immediately before "lily of a man." Since both phrases complete each other, we can assume they have similar meanings.

Therefore, we can safely conclude the speaker is saying that he is not an anxious weakling, not a coward. The best answer in this case is option C.

The author’s purpose is
alexdok [17]

Answer:

An author's purpose is the reason an author decides to write about a specific topic. Then, once a topic is selected, the author must decide whether his purpose for writing is to inform, persuade, entertain, or explain his ideas to the reader.

Explanation:

A simple trick to summarize the three main categories of author's purpose is to use the acronym PIE, which stands for persuade, inform and entertain. Although there are many reasons to write, to persuade, to inform and to entertain represent the three main forms of author's purpose.

Elan Coil [88]
He gives a reason for this that from innocence the forefathers "grew" their safety  rather than by "power and genius" perhaps meaning that having a good heart and meaning well for other people results in more "safety" in life than "power and genius" which brings to mind the demise of Conrad Black who sought Power and Genius I would say (perhaps as an addiction to power) that it led him to break the law and end up in jail.
