The reference to "Jimmy Stewart" in this line is most likely intended as a/an __________ allusion.
(1 point)
biblical
literary
historical
mythological
I think it's literary but i'm not quite sure

Answer 1

Hes right I tooked the test.

Answer 2

The reference to "Jimmy Stewart" in this line is most likely intended as a literary allusion. It is definitely not a biblical allusion given that Jimmy Stewart is an actor, and not a character from the Bible. The same thing goes for mythological allusion - Jimmy Stewart exists, he is not a made-up mythological entity, so that is incorrect. Historical allusion is also incorrect because that usually refers to important historical figures such as warriors and presidents, and Jimmy Stewart is an actor.
