Explanation:
Rukmani is the sole narrator and protagonist of the novel "Nectar in a Sieve" (published in 1955) and written by Kamala Markandaya.
Rukmani is the daughter of village's headman. She is married at age twelve to a very poor farmer Nathan. Since Rukmani has the unique skill of reading and writing (taught to her by his father), she initially plans to earn some money by reading villager's letters which their relatives mail from other parts of the country. But then she decides to do the same in the city. She thinks that she could earn reasonable amount of money in the city because of its large population. But she does not consider that in cities most or the people are already literate.

Answer:
Iron Maiden's reference to the line from Shakespeare's play is an example of:
B. literary allusion.
Explanation:
<u>The figure of speech known as allusion happens when an author references to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. </u>For instance, suppose you are writing an essay about kindness and selflessness. If you call someone a good Samaritan, you are alluding to a biblical character known for his kindness. When making an allusion, just like that one, the author expects the reader or listener to know what he is talking about. You do not explain what a good Samaritan is, since you expect your readers to know about the biblical story.
<u>That is what we have in Iron Maiden's song: a literary allusion. The composer of the lyrics used lines from Shakespeare's play, from a literary work. He does not explain them, but he expects his listeners to know what he is referencing to.</u>
