HELPPP!

Read the excerpt from "A Poison Tree."

And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,

Which line of the excerpt contains a biblical allusion?


"Till it bore an apple bright,"

"And I sunned it with smiles"

"And with soft deceitful wiles."

"And it grew both day and night,"

Answer:

I don't know if you still need this but it's D. "And it grew both day and night,".

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants usually don't grow at night because there is no sun, so D. contains a biblical allusion.
