Answer:

She floated around the room so easily she

could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion

She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile

She floated around the room, moving in no

specific direction - Metaphor.

Explanation:

A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"

This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.

A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.

In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.

Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.

In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.

Why were peasants the only ones who danced the walzer until the early eighteenth century?
JulsSmile [24]
Technically this has two answers. Peasants did not socialize with members of the upper class and therefore high society would not have been introduced to the dance until later in the century. However, the real true answer is because the dance was considered to be too bad mannered for refined people. Those of high society had their own dances and would almost never do anything that lower class people would do, but with this dance it was different. The dance required the couple to face each other in a closed position and they had to physically touch for the entire dance. This was simply not allowed for the elite because it was scandalous that unwedded men and women would ever be in such a position to resemble an intimate embrace.
