Answer:

An allusion is a literary device that provides greater context to the work at hand by referencing a previous work of art, a person, a place, an event, or a situation—usually of some social, political, or historical significance.

For example: You're acting like such a Scrooge! Alluding to Dickens's A Christmas Carol, this line means that the person is being miserly and selfish, just like the character Scrooge from the story.

Allusions are an important part of understanding literature because they give us a deeper understanding of an author's message. An author can skillfully draw upon allusions to give a story, poem, play, or other literary form more meaning or to provide clues about an author's message.

Which statement correctly defines the structure of the iambic pentameter meter? A. A line of iambic pentameter contains four fee

julsineya [31]

The answer is: D. A line of iambic pentameter contains five feet, with the unstressed syllable following the stressed syllable.

Iambic pentametric is a traditional kind of metric line in English poetry and verse. It involves a line of five feet or syllables - one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because they refer to three, four and six feet, and some of them state that the unstressed syllable comes after the stressed syllable.
