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.

Can someone explain to me the easiest way to make a metaphor?
Ivan
Just think of two things that could be compared in an unusual way! A metaphor is just a comparison that doesn't use "like" or "as". For example, a simile would be "My love is like a rose" but a metaphor would be "My love is a rose" If you think of it this way, it might be easiest to think of a simile then take away "like" or "as". Be creative with it and have fun

''The doctor determined the cause of Gina's health problem.'' is a simple sentence.

A simple sentence consists of only one clause having only one subject, the predicate. It may or may not contain an object.

In the given sentence, there is a subject 'the doctor,' a predicate "cause" and an object "cause of Gina's health problem."

On the other hand, compound sentence consists of more than two independent clauses.

An independent clause has a proper meaning and it makes sense without the other clause.

These independent clauses are joined together using a conjunction such as: yet, nor, for, so, and, but & many more.

what effect does the first-person point of view in "the yellow wallpaper" most likely have on the reader?
Contact [7]

Answer:

The author's use of the first person to convey the story allows readers to go along for the ride into madness and cultivates a certain amount of sympathy for the narrator and her plight. The constant use of "I" puts us right in the narrator's head and allows us to empathize with her
