Charle's Dickens conveyed the importance of Christmas and Tradition in <em>"A Christmas Carol"</em> by showing that Christmas is all about <em>"giving rather than receiving."</em> Instead of spending time at work and being grumpy like Scrooge on Christmas Eve,<em> spending time with family is more important.</em> It also teaches people a lesson that <em>you cannot bring your wealth when you die</em>, thus,<u> it is more important to share your wealth for the common good and the happiness of others.</u>

This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:
A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."
B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."
C. "Her walk was proud..."
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Answer:
The detail that contains an allusion is:
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Explanation:
As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.
