Answer:

<u>Although</u>, I enjoy listening to a lot of different musical stuff, Norah Jones and Billie Holiday are the musicians that I admire the most. <u>Nevertheless</u> Norah Jones was born 20 years after Billie Holiday died, Jones' music can be considered similar to Holiday's. <u>In spite of</u> their different backgrounds, both Holiday and Jones became very successful and famous. <u>Because</u> of their different life stories, they had very different musical training. Jones took piano lessons as a child, and studied jazz piano at the University of North Texas. <u>While</u>, Holiday had no musical training. <u>As a result</u>, she learned from musicians around her and invented her own unique style of singing. <u>Likewise</u>, Jones had very little formal training as a professional singer. <u>In contrast</u>, she learned her way of singing from listening to musicians and recordings, especially Billie Holiday's records. <u>Also</u>, Billie Holiday only sang jazz songs, Jones also used to sing country and pop songs <u>in many ways</u>, their styles and abilities were very similar

Explanation:

Transition words are defined as the words that function as the bridge to fill the gap between words and phrases. It helps in linking the ideas and various sections of the paragraph in a smooth and flowing manner. It allows the readers in understanding the message effectively and comprehensively. Without these words, the ideas seem broken and incomplete. Thus, it helps in making the ideas more impactful.

An allusion is a direct or indirect reference to something historical, literacy, religious, or mythical. Allusions can help peop
Neporo4naja [7]

This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:

A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."

B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."

C. "Her walk was proud..."

D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."

Answer:

The detail that contains an allusion is:

D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."

Explanation:

As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.

<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.
