Read this sentence: Just like Washington crossing the Delaware with his troops, Jason stormed into the principal's office followed by his supporters.

What type of allusion is the reference to Washington?

biblical
historical
mythological
pop culture

The answer is historical because pop-culture would be (for example) referring to a DC character like superman, Biblical would be from the bible. for example adam and eve, mythological would be like greek mythology (like zeus.) so we are left with Historical because historical means history. Hope this helped!
