Question

Which sentence in the passage contains an allusion? A Different Route by Tirzah Tyler "Thanks for driving me to the mall today," Natalie told her sister. Natalie was excited about buying a birthday present for her favorite teacher. "No problem, Sis," Stephanie said. "My car is cheaper than a taxi." "Your car is free," Natalie said. "For you, not for me," Stephanie said with a chuckle. 1.( She gripped her steering wheel and looked both ways before driving into an intersection.) "I'm glad the Sun is out today," she added with a relaxed smile. "Yesterday, we got so much rain," Natalie said. 2. ( "The weather was raining cats and dogs.")
Then she meowed and barked. Stephanie laughed out loud. After she drove a few blocks, she suddenly hit the brakes. "Uh-oh," she said. "This next street is flooded. I need to back up." "You can't drive through it?" Natalie asked. 3.( "Only if I part the Red Sea,") Stephanie replied. She checked behind her to make sure the coast was clear. 4.( Then she cautiously backed up and made a left turn.) "Driving on a flooded street is too risky," she said. "We can take a different route to the mall." "Riding with you is definitely better than calling me a taxi," Natalie said. "You're a taxi," Stephanie said. Both girls laughed.




PLZ HELP

Answer 1

Answer: 1

Explanation: I think it’s 1 because it kinda shares an idea of what she’s trying to do which is trying to drive into an intersection as the text says.

Hope this helps!!! ;)

( I’m not so sure about my answer lol)
