Henry David Thoreau believed that the pace of life during his time was too quick, and that it did not allow people to have enough time to appreciate all the details of life.

Explanation:
The stressed syllable of a word is the one we pronounce more strongly, the one you would make longer if you were to scream that word. Take the word orange, for example. If you were to scream it, you would say "ooooooorange" instead of "oraaaaaange". That is because "or" is the stressed syllable, not "ange".
Now, let's use number 1 above as an example. Below, we will highlight the stressed syllable in each word:
A. unsurprising B. undecided C. undeveloped D. uninteresting
Words A, B, and C have the same pattern, the stressed syllable being the one before the last. Only letter D has a different pattern, which is why we can choose it as the right option.
A reference to another literary text, poem, or mythological story is an allusion.
Allusion refers to a brief reference to a person, place, event or to another literay work made in a piece of writing or literary work. Allusion was very common in classic and romantic poetry which had many references to ancient mythology.
Allusion is just a passing comment and the writer expects the reader to have broad knowledge to spot the allusion and comprehend its importance in a text.
