Answer 1

References to things, places, people, and events outside of the reading selection

Further Explanation:

Allusion is a brief and indirect reference made to a person, place, thing or idea of a historical or cultural significance. Allusion is a part of the speech and in that an object or a circumstance from an unrelated context is conveyed directly or indirectly. In Allusion, it is up to the audience to make a direct connection with that speech. In simple words, an Allusion is just a passing comment and in which the writer or the orator expects the audience or the reader to possess enough knowledge in order to grasp the importance of the text.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be option D.

Allusions are defined as references to things, places, people, and events outside of the reading selection.

An allusion is a literary device which uses a short or indirect reference to an event, place, or person. It is pre-assumed by the writer that the readers must be acquitted with the reference used in the work. Allusions can be used to enhance the text by adding additional meaning to it. At times, it can also be used to make ironic comments by comparing the dissimilar things.
