Answer:

C. The author refers to the evil of Sodom and Gomorrah to suggest a  comparison to the contemporary city of New Orleans.

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure that is used to describe something without directly referring to it and explicitly saying what it is, but by using some different ideas, usually knowledgable to a wider audience.

That is why the author here refers to what he imagines in New Orleans as Sodom and Gomorrah. <u>He refers to the well known Biblical story about the cities where many vile people lived who did harm and sins, so God destroyed them at the end as a punishment for their outrageous behavior.</u>

<u>By alluding to these Biblical places and stories, the author is trying to say us all the worst possible happenings were present to see in New Orleans, and still are, as he is still "to this day" making that mental connection. </u>

When you use notecards to organize the paragraph of your essay you should write ___ on a separate note card
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:  

- Subject.

Explanation:

Organizing is one of the crucial elements to produce an effective essay as it arranges the thoughts and information in a structured manner. Note cards are most commonly employed to organize the paragraphs. The process begins with titling the 'subject or topic' on separate cards along with its description/notes and separate them in groups as per the topic and length of the paper. It helps in giving a concise and compact form to the ideas in a systematic and more presentable manner with highlighting each point sharply that offers a comprehensive meaning and understanding to the essay/paper. Thus, 'subject' is the answer.

The subject of each supporting paragraph. :)
