"Allusion" can be best defined as a figure of speech that references a place, person or event.

An <u>allusion</u> is a brief and indirect reference to something or someone else. The writer includes an <u>allusion</u> because he wants the reader to think of a particular thing, person or place when he comes across this literary device.

Why is active listening an important component of communication? A. Most people only pretend to listen during a conversation. B.
VARVARA [1.3K]
The correct answer here is C.

Active listening is surprisingly not something many do, even though it is an important part in communication. While listening we often get distracted and think what are we going to say next so we are not always actively listening. This requires a lot of empathy, patience and practice but it is worth as we show that we value the speaker and that their thoughts are important to us.

Identify the essential element missing from the following topic sentence. Giving holiday gifts can be​ expensive! A. controlling
Stolb23 [73]

The appropriate response is “B. Limited topic.”

 

A topic sentence is, by definition, a controlling idea, so we can safely assume “A” is not what is missing because this sentence is a topic sentence.  Because a topic sentence is generally one of the first sentences in a paragraph, we know it is not missing a concluding idea because that would appear toward the end of a paragraph, so we know "C" is not the answer.  We can further determine that support for the main point is not missing from the topic sentence because support for the main point would appear following the topic sentence within the body of the paragraph, so we know "D" is not the answer.  What is missing, however, is a limited topic.  The way things currently stand with “Giving holiday gifts can be expensive!” is  a bit broad (almost too vague) which means there is potentially so much that can be covered that anything covered will be too superficial and underdeveloped.   By limiting the scope and narrowing the topic by, for instance, specifying the holiday, the types of presents, or the cost, one would be able to provide a well-developed and focused paragraph.
