In my opinion, the correct answer is C. Allusion.

An allusion is a reference to a particular event from history or literature, which is usually well-known. In this case, Melville alludes to the Roman general Gaius Marius. According to Plutarch, Marius went to the ruined city of Carthage, after being banished from Rome.

Predict how you feel time, place, weather, and colors will play a key role in setting the Dystopian tone in 1984
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Explanation:

Setting and tone/mood can be seen to go hand in hand, so to speak.  For instance, a scene of a story or poem that takes place in a field of flower on a bright and sunny day would contribute to a tone of happiness.  That said, the time 1984 occurs is in the future for the characters of the novel.  The place is London, and the weather and color are, respectively, dreary and gray.   Because the future can never be known for sure, this uncertainty contributes to the dystopian tone.   Likewise, when one thinks about the miserable nature for people that would be caused by a dystopian society, bright and sunny are not what one might generally think.   Setting in 1984 contributes to the tone of dystopia because when one pictures what a dystopia might look like, smoggy, foggy, and gray are probably what come to mind.
