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.

In context the word"engetter'd"(line 365) most likely means?
Andrew [12]

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

"Engetter" is a word of French origin, which refers to the rejection and expulsion of something or someone. It is likely that in the text to which your question refers, this word has been placed with this meaning, to be sure of this, you should rewrite the sentence by changing the word "engetter" to its meanings and making sure the sentence is coherent. You can also see this by looking at the context of the sentence as a whole and identifying whether that context has something that is being kicked out or rejected.
