Answer:

Allusions are used as stylistic devices to help contextualize a story by referencing a well-known person, place, event, or another literary work. These references do not have to be explicitly explained; more often than not, writers choose to let readers fill in the blanks.

How does Crevecoeur contradict his own observations about America’s diversity and equality? Select all that apply.
Irina18 [472]
<span>Crevecoeur contradicts his own observation about America's diversity and equality by giving an unflattering portrayal of German-American settlers (option A) and by giving descriptions of abject poverty and the wide gap between rich and poor (option D). But he tends to predict that society might triumph over barbarism and settlers would embrace civilization  "making room for more industrious people".</span>

Read the following excerpt from "Notes of a Native Son" by James Baldwin:
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. The author refers to the evil of Sodom and Gomorrah to suggest a  comparison to the contemporary city of New Orleans.

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure that is used to describe something without directly referring to it and explicitly saying what it is, but by using some different ideas, usually knowledgable to a wider audience.

That is why the author here refers to what he imagines in New Orleans as Sodom and Gomorrah. <u>He refers to the well known Biblical story about the cities where many vile people lived who did harm and sins, so God destroyed them at the end as a punishment for their outrageous behavior.</u>

<u>By alluding to these Biblical places and stories, the author is trying to say us all the worst possible happenings were present to see in New Orleans, and still are, as he is still "to this day" making that mental connection. </u>
