Answer:

The sentence from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" that is an example of allusion is Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations?

Explanation:

An allusion is a device that writer use to make reference to something without being this present in the scene, this normally gives extra context to help the understanding either of a situation or a character, here the sentence is making reference to reason behind what the reader can see now, it is calling for the background.

Answer:

Admit that they lost the bet

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • admit that they lost the bet
  • bet more money on Smiley's dog
  • grab Smiley's dog and tie it up
  • try to help the other dog beat Smiley's dog

An idiom is a phrase that has a figurative, non-literal meaning. We can't conclude what this type of phrase means based on the meanings of individual words that make it up. Here, we have the idiom <em>throw up the sponge</em>. No one is literally throwing up sponges. This phrase means<em> </em><em>to give up a contest </em>or <em>to acknowledge defeat</em>.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the dogs are fighting until the people who own them admit that they lost the bet.
