Which of the following is a key reason to include allusions in a literary work?
Shalnov [3]

Option C is a key reason to include allusions in a literary work: to broaden the context and deepen the meaning of a literary work.

An allusion is a figure of speech that may refer to a place, person, or event. This can be real or imaginary and may make reference to anything, including fiction, folklore, historical events, or religious manuscripts. The reference can be direct or can be inferred, and can broaden the reader's understanding.
