Which sentence from the passage is an example of allusion?

English
1 answer:
Inessa [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: D.  Ginny had cut the Gordian knot by applying a formula that she had learned in  Mrs. Stark's class.

Explanation:

An allusion refers to the use of a word or phrase that has a certain meaning or implication to explain a situation. For instance:<em> ''our star runner is the Flash''</em>. The implication here is that the star runner is really fast because the Flash is really fast as well.

The allusion above is the Gordian knot which was known to be so hard to untie that only Alexander succeeded and he did so by cutting it open. The sentence is therefore describing a very difficult problem that Ginny solved.

What will be the total costs for Tara's first year at the
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Total Costs = $38580

Minimum Cost for 4 years = $116320

Explanation:

Data is not given in the question. However data related to the question is attached below

(See the table attached)

<h3>Total Costs for Tara's First Year:</h3>

As all the costs of Tuition, Room/board, Books/Lab, Transportation and Other are given in the table attached below, we just have to add all of them to get total costs for Tara's first year

Total Costs = $24500 + $8940 + $1950 + $1390 + $1800

Total Costs = $38580

<h3>Minimum Cost for 4 years:</h3>

We know that

Total Costs per year = $38580

Total Federal Grants per year = $9500

Minimum cost per year = $38580 - $9500 = $29080

Minimum Cost for 4 years = $29080*4

Minimum Cost for 4 years = $116320

What do you make of the metaphor with the ants and the umbrella destroying their little house in the dirt
krek1111 [17]

Hi. You didn't submit the part of the text that features the metaphor. This makes it impossible for this metaphor to be analyzed and for an opinion to be issued. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that presents a comparison between two elements. This comparison is made implicitly, but it is possible to see that the author of the text is establishing a relationship between the two elements. To analyze this comparison, you must locate the place in the text where this metaphor is established, you already know that this metaphor is related to the ants and the umbrella, which makes it easier for this metaphor to be located in the text.

To show your opinion about this metaphor, you must understand what is being compared in the metaphor. When you understand this, you can give your opinion on whether this comparison has deep meaning, whether it presents a lesson to the reader, whether it adds humor to the text, whether it adds a dark tone, among other things.

Read these sentences from the speech there is no negro problem. There is no southern problem. There is no northern problem. Ther
djyliett [7]

Answer:

In my opinion, the correct  answer is clarity. By using the repetition, the author tries to clarify what this problem isn't - by its nature it isn't Negro, Southern, or Northern. And then, he affirms what it is - it is American. Therefore, he says that compartmentalizing this problem is not going to help. People have to understand it for what it really is - everyone's problem, the problem of the nation itself.
