Answer:

D. That the reader has the background knowledge to understand the allusion

Explanation:

If there is an allusion to Venus the goddess of beauty, the counterpart of Aphrodite(Greek Mythology), someone who does not have any background knowledge about Roman mythology or mythology in general would assume the writer is referring to Venus, the planet rather than the goddess.

In order to understand an allusion as used by a writer, the reader must have adequate knowledge as this was expected of the reader by the writer.

nignag [31]

Answer:

A. repetition

Explanation:

This is an example of repetition. In this poem, Wordsworth uses the idea of loneliness and solitude several times. The author repeats the same concept several times in order to give emphasis to the idea and highlight its importance. Alliteration refers to the repetition of sounds, while naturalism and plagiarism are not rhetorical devices.
