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>

Lyddie is now working harder than ever attending four looms. What evidence from the text best shows the physical and mental effe
WITCHER [35]

Hello. You did not present the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. In the meantime I will help you in the best possible way.

A textual evidence is a sentence that proves an affirmation presented in the text. This sentence justifies and shows that the statement presented is real and true.

It is only possible to point out the textual evidence of the physical and mental effects that Lyddie is facing, through reading the text, but we can consider that a hard work of a long journey would promote a great physical and mental fatigue in Lyddie, making her feel overloaded and even promoting symptoms such as pain, stress, discouragement and fatigue. In that case, you should find, in your text, evidence of these symptoms and the occurrence of these, or similar symptoms, in Lyddie.
