Question

Identify what kind of allusion is used in this sentence:

That student is the new Einstein.
Historical
Biblical

Answer 1

Historical

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Einstein is referenced in the sentence becuase of his great impact to the world. The student is said to be the new Einstein. Einstein was a historical person/figure from the past, so this makes the allusion a historical kind.

Also, he's not from the Bible which stands for the second option, Biblical.

Answer 2

This is a historical allusion since Einstein was a prominent figure in physics and just the STEM field overall and he is not from the Bible.
