Answer:

D. a subtle indirect reference

Explanation:

An allusion is a reference, from a literary work to another work of fiction, a film, a piece of art, or even a real event. An allusion can be used as a straightforward device to enhance a text by providing further meaning, but it can also be used in a more complex sense to make an ironic comment on one thing by comparing it to something that is dissimilar. It's an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an <em>indirect </em>or passing reference.

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of the narrative. Read this excerpt from "Goodbye to All That" by Joa
Degger [83]

The correct answer is D.

In this excerpt from "Goodbye to All That," Didion seeks to explain that the time she spent in New York went by so quickly she did not even notice. She compares her experience with that of a movie, in which several years may pass in just a minute.

She expresses that, looking back, it all feels surreal, like something that she saw on a movie.

Which uses the correct modifiers for formal writing? Mom said she thought Maria had been treated wrong and that she should stick
lesya692 [45]
In formal writing and communication, the sentence "Mom said she thought Maria had been treated wrongly and that she should stick up for herself." is more appropriate. Although wrong and wrongly are both adverbs, some writers consider using adverbial "wrong" as incorrect, so you might want to play it safe and use "wrongly" instead.

What is the HARDEST part of writing?
kupik [55]

Answer:

       For me, the hardest part of writing is finding the words to match what I am thinking. Often times I find myself staring at a blank page trying to display my goal in what I am writing while still making it my own. Usually, I write the best when I am passionate about the topic of my work. This helps me feel good about what I am writing, find the words a bit easier, and write more because I am knowledgeable about said topic.

A few of the steps I take to writing something good are reviewing what I know about what I am writing about, making a rough draft and going over it, and taking my time to figure out what I can improve on as I go along.  As far as helping a struggling writer, I could find out what is blocking them when they are writing. If they are finding it difficult to set up their paragraphs then I would guide them through that. If they are struggling with something like not being able to relate to what they are writing or not connecting to it then I would suggest they do more research and/or think about little things in their life that could connect to said topic.

Hope this helps hun!
