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.

1. Write an opinion essay explaining why bilingualism is important to you personally, to you community and in the world
jekas [21]
Bilingualism is important to the community, in the world but especially to me. Bilingualism is important especially if you were to travel to a foreign country. It also helps you understand other cultures and why they do what they do in their daily lives. When you speak or say a simple sentence to someone who speaks another language, it lets them know that you care and respect them. Bilingualism helps you be closer and closer to the people around you and it lets you understand them better... it is also great to have that knowledge because  you never know what might happen, you could move somewhere where people don't speak English or any other language you speak so you will have to learn something new which can be hard but if you already know a few phrases or words, then it will be a little bit easier for you.
