A root of a word is a foundation, for example;
-Audi, means to listen. An audience is a group of people who are listening, or watching something. A root does not have to come in the beginning of the word, however.
Answer:
<em><u>D. The Senator's fondness for media exposure proved to be his Achilles' heel in the end.</u></em>
Explanation:
An allusion is a figure of speech that references people, places, events, or other literary works such as mythology. They can be implied or directly stated.
A. We squirmed in our seats as a deafening silence followed the host's poor attempt at humor.
This sentence does not meet the definition of an allusion, so <u>A. is incorrect.</u>
B. If all the world's a stage, I must be the one who sweeps up after the show is over.
This sentence is a metaphor since it describes the world as a stage. A metaphor is not the same as an allusion, so <u>B. is also incorrect.</u>
C. Our annual family reunion is like a circus with a disproportionate number of clowns.
This sentence is a simile. The narrator uses the work "like" to describe his/her family union as a circus. This means option <u>C. is incorrect.</u>
D. The Senator's fondness for media exposure proved to be his Achilles' heel in the end.
This sentence meets the definition of an allusion. It makes a reference to a literary work, in this case the Greek hero Achilles. <em><u>D. will be your correct answer.</u></em>

Answer and Explanation:
This is a personal question. The answer is supposed to be your opinion. Thus, feel free to edit and change anything in the answer below to adjust it to your beliefs:
"A Raisin in the Sun" is a play by Lorraine Hansberry in which the characters are an African-American family. In the play, the Ku Klux Klan is mentioned:
<em>BENEATHA: Mama, if there are two things we, as people, have got to overcome, one is the Ku Klux Klan - and the other is Mrs. Johnson.</em>
The Ku Klux Klan is a hate group that preaches white supremacy and anti-immigration ideas. I know that, throughout its existence, the Klan has terrorized the lives of non-white people, sometimes even killing black leaders and politicians.
I do not think the KKK or any other groups like them should have the right to exist in the US or anywhere else in the world. Even though we are free to believe in anything we want, our beliefs should not be used to harm others. To be frank, believing in the superiority of a race - especially when we all know race is more of a social construct than a reality - seems absurd to me. Someone's physical features, culture, or place of origin should not be seen as determinant to their superiority or inferiority. We are all human beings, and the need to see others as less human is barbaric, to say the least.
