English

fredd [130]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em><u>D. The Senator's fondness for media exposure proved to be his Achilles' heel in the end.</u></em>

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure of speech that references people, places, events, or other literary works such as mythology. They can be implied or directly stated.

A. We squirmed in our seats as a deafening silence followed the host's poor attempt at humor.

This sentence does not meet the definition of an allusion, so <u>A. is incorrect.</u>

B. If all the world's a stage, I must be the one who sweeps up after the show is over.

This sentence is a metaphor since it describes the world as a stage. A metaphor is not the same as an allusion, so <u>B. is also incorrect.</u>

C. Our annual family reunion is like a circus with a disproportionate number of clowns.

This sentence is a simile. The narrator uses the work "like" to describe his/her family union as a circus. This means option <u>C. is incorrect.</u>

D. The Senator's fondness for media exposure proved to be his Achilles' heel in the end.

This sentence meets the definition of an allusion. It makes a reference to a literary work, in this case the Greek hero Achilles. <em><u>D. will be your correct answer.</u></em>

Imagine that "Samjay's Dream" was presented as a stage play. Which would MOST LIKELY be true of a faithful adaptation of "Samjay
Gre4nikov [31]

The undeniable explanation they presently can't seem to give Samjay their choice is because of the way that despite the fact that Sanjay and his folks intellectually lives in various universes, they accept that Sanjay is just seeing the surface, and not looking further.

<h3>For what reason do Samjay have to look further?</h3>

The trusted that assuming he looks further and have a careful report, he will know who he truly is, and where he began from.

Samjay and his folks are intellectually disparate as far as the world they have a place with, they maintain that Samjay should look further into himself and afterward he will observe the response he is searching for.
