Answer:
a. Allusion.
Explanation:
Allusions are the use of literary device that uses an indirect way of addressing an issue without the use of any direct reference. Martin Luther King in his now famous speech "I Have A Dream" talks of many allusions. One of these allusions is the excerpt provided in the question -
<em>"Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation."
</em>
alludes to the Emancipation proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Saluting the effort of the then President, King alludes to the time when all slaves were freed by this. He also promises to continue to work for the same issue that President Lincoln had done.
The correct choice is clouds in this case, because those have the closest connotation in literature with change. The elements given have several connotations in literature. For example, darkness implies that something is unknown or it refers to a sense of being lost. Pesonification is a means of adding emotion and differing points of view to a story. The moon and the night that are treated there have similar connotations to darkness; the moon can also be said to wane or be a full moon so it encompasses change. HOWEVER, the most obvious choice is that clouds mean change; they always drift along and they change, appearing and disappearing.
