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.

Answer:

The excerpt reveals that Kenneth wants to control the situation.

Explanation:

Based on the excerpt above, we can see that Kenneth's tone was composed compared to the emotional tone of Xavier. The passage also tells us how Xavier was alarmed but he only talks for a short period. Xavier becomes furious because of the incident that happened (XAVIER (Alarmed): You told? You promised me you wouldn’t. Oh, man, this could be disastrous) but Kenneth had to calm him down by saying (I waited until Ms. Wilmore went to help somebody, then I sneaked the book off the shelf and copied the thing). Kenneth wants to control the situation because he is the one that sneaked the book off the shelf and copied the thing.
