Answer: C) Allusion.

Explanation: allusion is a literary device that consists in making a brief reference to a person, an event (historical, political, cultural, etc), or a place. In the given quote from "An Ancient Gesture" we can see an example of an allusion to Penelope (the wife of Odysseus in "The Odyssey") who said that she would choose a husband when she finished weaving a burial shroud, but she kept weaving all day and undoing it by night.

What is the purpose of this public service announcement?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

We should not smoke because smoking damages the heart and blood circulation, making it more likely that someone who smokes regularly will get heart disease or have a heart attack. Smoking can also make you feel more out of breath when you exercise, and make you more likely to get coughs and colds.

WHY PEOPLE SMOKE

One of the main reasons people still smoke today is that they started smoking in the first place. People start smoking for many reasons: advertisements, peer pressure, etc. Like many addictive illegal drugs, nicotine makes a smoker continue to crave cigarettes if they try to stop smoking.                 Many smokers report that they enjoy the ritual of smoking. They also say that smoking gives them a pleasurable feeling.
