Excerpt from: Life on the Mississippi

Mark Twain

THERE was no use in arguing with a person like this. I promptly put such a strain on my memory that by and by even the shoal water and the countless crossing-marks began to stay with me. But the result was just the same. I never could more than get one knotty thing learned before another presented itself. Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing. A time came at last, however, when Mr. Bixby seemed to think me far enough advanced to bear a lesson on water-reading. So he began—

Which of these sentences from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" is an example of allusion? A. It is the safe
Ede4ka [16]

The sentence from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" which is an example of allusion is the one we find in letter B. Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations?

One of the characters is mocked by being called Tetzel, who was a German Dominican preacher who sold "indulgences" (paid forgiveness for one's sins) in the 1500's. In the aforementioned sentence, there is an allusion to Martin Luther, who was openly against Tetzel and his "indulgences". An allusion is an indirect reference to something or someone, and Martin Luther is indirectly mentioned in the sense that it's like he is talking to his adversary. Except it's not Martin Luther himself speaking; it's one of the characters who try to impersonate him.

Study the poster showing characters from the movie Star Wars and created by the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The answer is "The photograph shows fictional film characters, used to 'sell' immunization."

Explanation:

A testimonial is one of the most common and effective advertising techniques. You may notice that the products you've been using are endorsed by either famous celebrities or satisfied customers, giving their feedback about the product. In other cases, some promotional ads use experts' opinions about the product. These are examples of testimonials.

<em><u>In this case, the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare use Star Wars' characters to sell the idea of immunization. </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

In 1977, the first installment of Star Wars was released, and it was a certified box office. The irony illustrates that the two characters were not human beings, but they're warning humans regarding immunization. It may sound funny, but people bought it. And it's because of the characters in the poster.

R2D2 and C3P0 were the characters used in the poster who played supporting but remarkable roles in the movie franchise. The creators of the poster took advantage of how famous these two were and cited as likeable sources since many people loved them.
