<u>Explanation:</u>
This is because both of these terms are used as antonyms in nature. However, the actual meanings differ and are used in different contexts. Many American writers of the romantic era created literary works celebrating the identity of America as a united and unified whole. The trend of patriotism evolved and was often contradicted with the term nationalism in many contexts.
Answer:
Allusion.
Explanation:
The allusion is exemplified as the literary device through which the author proposes a quick and indirect allusion or reference to a particular personality, place, event, idea, or object that carries its significance historically, literary, politically, and culturally. The chief aim of employing such a device is to uplift the contextual value and relevance of the text.
In the given quote, the author employs literary allusion to enhance the contextual worth of the text (as reflected by the reference to great literary fiction like 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley and G.B. Shaw's famous play 'Pygmalion') that requires the readers' to possess prior knowledge to have a comprehensive understanding of the author's intended idea. Therefore, '<u>allusion</u>' is the correct answer.
