The correct answer is “allusion”. Allusion is a figure of speech and its main function is to make a reference to a place, person or idea of political, cultural o historical importance. This reference is not explained by the speaker or narrator but relies on the reader’s familiarity. In this case, Dr. King used the quote “<u>all men are created equally</u>” alluding to the idea presented in <em>The United States Declaration of Independence</em> by Thomas Jefferson (1776): “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that <u>all men are created equal</u>,”. It is not a simile, since the reference does not present a comparison. It is not a metaphor, since it does not make an implicit comparison. It is not imagery because it does not appeal to our physical senses.
