Answer: Options A, C, D and E.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Allusion is a type or a figure of speech where the words are used which are referring to the objects which are not related with the context. No direct meaning of such words is there.
The audience of the text have to derive the meaning of the words on their own on the basis of how they understand the meaning of the words which are referred to in that particular text.
A topic sentence should make clear what the paragraph is about and express a view about the subject matter.
One instance of selfishness is with the Birling family, who appear to live in their own “comfortable” bubble of wealth and avarice, which inhibits and warps their views of the world. For instance, the stage directions describe the “suburban” Birling family home as “pink and intimate”. The use of the adjective “pink” connotes ‘rose tinted spectacles’; the sense that the Birling family has a nostalgic, anachronistic and out-of-touch perception of the world, implying they are detached from the realities of modern Britain. This feeling is further augmented when the Inspector arrives and shatters their rapacious ignorance. The lighting changes drastically, going to “brighter and harder”. The implication of such a change is that the Inspector is shining a light (as though in a police interrogation) on areas the Birlings had never previously seen (because of the ignorance afforded to them by their greed and selfishness).
