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.

At age six Harriet Tubman was loaned out to another family where she helped take care of a baby. She was sometimes beaten and all she got was table scraps. Later she worked on plantations such as plowing fields and loading production wagons. Take that information and put yourself into the situation, add some spice like how you would feel going through that, and give some background info.

Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah.
Lena [83]

   The narrator was frightened because her mother would declare her a heretic. She may or may not know the Lord's Prayer and she could be terrified because of her previous thoughts. And she was annoyed because nobody had taught her how to make a confession, resulting in the mention of her religious belief and not some <em>personal wrongdoing.</em>

Answer is A.

Hi
Misha Larkins [42]
You use "it's" as a formal Contraction, it's short for 'it is' or 'it has'.

For example, 'it's a wonderful day's

You use "so" when you are describing something

For example, 'it's so hot'
"So" is also another word for "very", which is where the word originally generated. it's often mixed up with "such", but dont worry! you'll learn English alot soon!

Sara's paper airplane flew 8 1/2 yards. Jason's flew 8 2/3 yards. Michael's flew 8 1/4 yards and Denise's flew 8 1/6 yards. Whos
kirill115 [55]
The all flew 8 yards, so we can eliminate that for now.

1/2 - Sara - 6/12

2/3 - Jason - 8/12

1/4 - Michael - 3/12

1/6 - Denise - 2/12

Common denominator: 12

Jason's plane flew the farthest as his numerator is the largest (after we found a common denominator for all 4 fractions).
