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.

The line that most clearly creates the climax is "'I don't know, I don't know,' Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. 'I just get so tired...'"

<h3>What is climax in literature?</h3>

The climax of a story is the moment where the tension that has been building up reaches its breaking point. It is in the climax that the most important or difficult conflict has to be faced by the characters.

In the story we are analyzing here, the climax happens when Becky's anxiety reaches a breaking point. She is disappointed at herself and anxious about the driving text. She finally breaks down, which is shown in the lines:

"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."

From here on, we have the resolution as her brother Justin reasons with her and helps her deal with her anxiety. Thus, with the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer for this question.

This line explicitly tells us that the knight has been in the Crusades since Palatye, which was mentioned in that line, was a part of Anatolia. It was in this place where the First Crusade began. In 1095, Pope Urban II spearheaded the conquest to recover the lost lands in Anatolia. This Crusade lasted until 1099.
