G. K. Chesterton uses the story of King Midas to strengthen his claims in the essay "The Fallacy of Success. " Which rhetorical

device is used in this excerpt from the essay?
Unfortunately, however, Midas could fail; he did. His path did not lead unerringly upward. He starved because whenever he touched a biscuit or a ham sandwich it turned to gold. That was the whole point of the story, though the writer has to suppress it delicately, writing so near to a portrait of Lord Rothschild. The old fables of mankind are, indeed, unfathomably wise; but we must not have them expurgated in the interests of Mr. Vanderbilt. We must not have King Midas represented as an example of success; he was a failure of an unusually painful kind.aphorism

A.) anecdote
B.) allusion
C.) metaphor
D.) alliteration
