Question

Which is the most likely effect of an allusion that is too dramatic for the

context?
O A. It will read as appropriate and honest.
O B. It will read as serious or somber.
O C. It will read as ironic or joking.
O D. It will read as graceful or clever.

Answer 1

B because in the context it would have been seen more dramatic

Answer 2

Answer: C. It will read as ironic or joking.

Step-by-step explanation:

An allusion is when we hint at something and expect the other person to understand what we are referencing. For example: Chocolate is his Kryptonite. In this example, the word “kryptonite” alludes to, or hints at, the hero Superman.

But because "too dramatic for the context", having an allusion would make it seem like joking.
