Question

Using a reference to someone or something that is well known is called _____. allusion, illusion, personification, immortalizing

Answer 1

Using a reference to someone or something that is well known is called "allusion." Allusion is a figure of speech that is brief. It gives an indirect reference to a thing, idea, person or place. What it refers does not show a description or detail of that idea, person, place or thing.
