Im afraid
although I like to mask my fear
I prefer to stand clear
tall buildings mountain tops
or simply just a roof
I imagine the worst
I tremble and even sometimes curse
it's very common to fear
but I prefer to not let my friends hear
as I feel they may make fun
I'd rather suffer instead of run
it may not come when you're young
climbing trees and riding rides
until you feel the fear
and then riding those rides may be hard
lots of courage to ride once more

This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:
A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."
B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."
C. "Her walk was proud..."
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Answer:
The detail that contains an allusion is:
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Explanation:
As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.
