Can you please look at my question? I'm in a test and I need an answer fast.
The answer is (C), becuse the reader does not now was is threatening the characters lives. In the other answers it told "it" was thereatening their lifes. This is why (c) has the sentence fragment.
The answer is B) It suggest a tone of worry. The reason is because the phrase "knitting their cheeks" means the that the llamas were moving their jaws. This along with the fact that they were contemplating the writer suggests that the llamas are unsure of the writer.
1. I read the whole essay and the only allusion that she uses is Xanadu. Joan Didion writes, nobody lives at Xanadu meaning nobody lives in the paradise.
Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not tell in detail the thing, idea, place or person.
Xanadu is a mitical place. It is located in the north of Shangri La that was introduced in 1933 in the fictional novel Lost Horizon by author James Hilton
2.- The symbol that Joan Didion uses is that nobody lives at Xanadu that it is paradise on earth for her because New York was appealing to the author even though she was not well paid and didn't have the best food on the table.
