Answer 1

I think it's a metaphor.

Answer 2

A). Allusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Robinson in this excerpt from "Aunt Imogene" employs allusion when he offers a reference to 'Aunt Imogen' who mirrors the unrealistic aunt of Alice in the famous text "Alice in Wonderland" who represents young girls. As we know, an allusion is a literary device, through which proposes a direct and intentional reference to a historical or mythical event, character, or happening. In this poem, the poet alludes to the classic character of 'Aunt Imogene' to reflect the delusional expectations of females and males. Thus, the answer is option A.
