...You could describe it as not just making or leaving tracks behind on mars, but in another way. As if you left tracks in everyones brains. (I don't know, at least I tried)
Even though the proverb was not posted here, this question is still perfectly answerable.
Answer:
The rhetorical device Twain uses by referencing a well-known proverb is allusion.
Explanation:
<u>Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone that has significance. The author does not explain much, since he/she assumes the audience knows who or what he/she refers to. </u>
<u>For instance, if someone says a woman is as beautiful as Helen of Troy, we would understand he/she means that woman is extremely beautiful. Helen of Troy is a famous character from the </u><u><em>Iliad</em></u><u>, by Homer, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. The person making the allusion will not explain this fact, since it is well know.</u>
Therefore, if Twain is referring to a well-known proverb, he is making an allusion to it.

Hello. You forgot to show the answer options. The options are:
A. an appeal to emotion
B. an appeal to ethics
C. an appeal to logic
D. an appeal to the author’s character
Answer:
C. an appeal to logic
Explanation:
The text presented above shows an appeal to logic as the rhetoric used to demonstrate how censorship can silence the powerless. This is because the narrator states that she describes how a high school class burned books that they believed were inappropriate. These "improper" books portrayed subjects that had a strong social impact and were considered dangerous because of the ideas they emitted. However, they were just books, they could not fight or defend themselves, they were powerless and therefore, it was logical that they were annulled through censorship.
