The stray cat stalked down the street. Her walk was proud--she barely flinched when a car on the corner backfired. She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap to the top of an open trash can, where, with great dignity, she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra.

Which detail from the text contains an allusion?

Answers

Answer:

D. ...she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra.

Explanation:

The detail from the text that contains an allusion is ''...she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra''

Allusion is known to be a brief and indirect reference to a person, thing, place or idea of historical significance. In allusion, it does not describe in detail the reference (i.e the person or thing to which it refers). It actually passes a comment. Then the writer actually expects the reader to understand the allusion and grasp its importance as used in a text.

In the above answer, the author makes allusion to the meal of broken bones referring it to ''a back alley Cleopatra''. Therefore, Option D is correct answer.

Scout and Jem spend much of their time inventing stories about their reclusive neighbor Boo Radley, gleefully scaring themselves before rushing to the secure, calming presence of their father, Atticus. As the novel progresses, however, the imaginary threat that Boo Radley poses pales in comparison to the real dangers Jem and Scout encounter in the adult world. The siblings’ recognition of the difference between the two pushes them out of childhood and toward maturity, and as they make that transition, Boo Radley, their childhood bogeyman, helps serve as link between their past and their present.

Explanation: Panama hats are handmade; A weaver puts hours of work into every single hat, and they finish it in 7 or 8 months. They also have to brim them, fix imperfections, and decorate them. Therefore, they do not use any technology. The history of Panama hats started in Ecuador, where they were made of leaves from the Carludovica palmata plant, to later on become popular and extend to Panama. The production of these hats contributes to the community's economy since the people who make them are people who lack a regular salary and depend on sales to keep up.

Panama hats are hats that originated from the place Ecuador. These hats are woven and handmade in Ecuador. These are most expensive because of the fineness and evenness of the weave. These are very rarely utilized by people and are very comfortable.

2. No

3. Yes.

Reason for the correct answers:

They brim the Panama hats, then look out for the imperfections and fix them, and then decorate them.

2. The history of Panama hats was not started in Panama. It was started in Ecuador where these hats were made up of leaves of the Carludovica Palmata plant and then, later on, became popular by the name Panama.
