Answer:

Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone’s childhood.

Explanation:

An allusion is the referencing of something without actually explicitly mentioning it. It acts as a means to bring something into the mind without directly mentioning it in detail. It could be used as a means to refer to something that the writer/author wants to bring into mind but not direct referencing.

Judith Cofer Ortiz's "The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica" is an observation that uses vivid imagery and detailed description. It focuses on the issue of an immigrant displacement and the identity crisis, being uprooted from the 'old lie' into the new world of America. An example of an allusion is found in the mention of <em>"Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone's childhood"</em> which is a reference to the childhood of the author or anyone displaced, for that matter. It brings back memories of their childhood.  

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

GarryVolchara [31]
The plural noun in this sentence would be the word "cookies." A noun is the name of a person, place, or thing, and a plural noun is just more than one of that noun.

Nutka1998 [239]

Explanation:

I had a frightening dream last night, I dreamed that I was walking high up on a railroad trestle. It looked like the one I used to walk on when I was about 10 years old. At that height, my palms were sweating, just as they did when I was a boy. I could see the ground out of the corners of my eyes, I felt a swooning, sickening sensation. Suddenly, I realized there were rats below, thousands and thousands of rats. They knew I was up the trestle, they were squeaking because they were sure they would get me. Their teeth glinted in the moonlight, their red eyes were like thousands of small reflectors, that almost blinded my sight. Sensing that there was something even more hideous behind me, I kept moving forward. I then realised that I was coming to a gap in the trestle. I knew there was no way I could stop or go back, I would have to cross over that empty gap. I jumped in despair knowing I would never make it. I felt myself falling down to the mischief of rejoicing rats. I woke up covered with sweat, half expecting to find a rat on my bed. I then realized I should not watch scary television shows before I go to bed.
