English
1 answer:
fredd [130]2 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>
