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>

3-4 paragraph on what makes something convincing and what makes a argument convincing?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer

There are many things can strengthen an argument. Throughout this essay, I will give multiple examples. One example of an argument strengthening topic, is an appeal to authorities. An appeal to authorities is where you appeal to a credible source, external to the argument, in order to prove your point.

Another thing that strengthens an argument is when you sight your sources. To sight your sources is to give a physical or verbal reference to an external source that strengthen's your argument. You should always sight your sources when providing evidence.

Finally, You should support your arguments with valid evidence, backed up with sources and appeals to at least two authorities who can verify your statements As you can see, there are many ways that we can strengthen our arguments. I hope this helps.
