Answer:
Never had Frederick Douglass been so nervous. Undeterred, Douglass vowed to try to escape again on September 3, 1838, although he knew the risk. “I felt assured that if I failed in this attempt, my case would be a hopeless one,” he wrote in his autobiography. “It would seal my fate as a slave forever.”
Explanation:
Prewriting, writing, editing.
Condensed Milk is set within a Soviet gulag, where most of the prisoners are forced to conduct hard labor while malnourished, unable to muster the strength to escape. Shestakov, the only named character, has been given office work and relatively comfortable conditions. He makes an offer to the protagonist to join in an escape attempt, which the latter deduces is a false plan meant to secure Shestakov's own position. The climax occurs in the end of the sequence in which the protagonist receives and drinks two cans of condensed milk, then refuses the deal on which the cans depended. By doing so, the protagonist gets the best possible result out of the current situation; receiving essential nourishment without giving in to what he knows is a sham of an escape attempt. The refusal is a risk, and relies on the idea that the cans are a small cost to Shestakov; the climax occurs when the protagonist takes this risk and gets away with it, saving his own life.
The correct answer would be option D.
Allusions are defined as references to things, places, people, and events outside of the reading selection.
An allusion is a literary device which uses a short or indirect reference to an event, place, or person. It is pre-assumed by the writer that the readers must be acquitted with the reference used in the work. Allusions can be used to enhance the text by adding additional meaning to it. At times, it can also be used to make ironic comments by comparing the dissimilar things.
