Question

In an allusion, the importance lies in what a word

a- represents
b- rhymes with
c- sounds like
d- states

Answer 1

a-represents

Allusion is a reference to another piece of literature or published work. In literature there are many references to biblical stories or characters, since it is a widely read text. Other common allusions are references to famous couples like Bonnie and Clyde or Romeo and Juliet. In order for a reader to understand the allusion, he must understand what the allusion represents.

Answer 2

A is the only answer that would actually make sense logically. Because an illusion isn't actually real, but it always represents something one way or another.
