Answer:

a. Allusion.

Explanation:

Allusions are the use of literary device that uses an indirect way of addressing an issue without the use of any direct reference. Martin Luther King in his now famous speech "I Have A Dream" talks of many allusions. One of these allusions is the excerpt provided in the question -

<em>"Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the  Emancipation Proclamation." </em>

alludes to the Emancipation proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Saluting the effort of the then President, King alludes to the time when all slaves were freed by this. He also promises to continue to work for the same issue that President Lincoln had done.

What does manoush zomorodi think happens to our brains when we are bored 
alisha [4.7K]

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: When we’re bored, the brain begins a process called “autobiographical planning,” which refers to when people have the chance to reflect on our lives, which can lead to establishing our goals and the way we think we can achieve them.

Explanation:

In her 2017 TED Talk (How Boredom Can Lead to Your Most Brilliant Ideas), Manoush Zomorodi claims there´s an important connection between boredom, creativity, and innovation. Since the moments of boredom allow the brain to make connections between dissimilar ideas and develop problem-solving ideas, it´s important not to fill our moments of boredom with distracting activities, such as scrolling through the cellphone.
