Question 10 • English 3 Sem-2-FL-1001370 (2024-2025)

Which excerpt from "Keynote Address" includes an example of an allusion?

Answer
A
"The issue before us in such a time is how shall we discharge, how shall we honor our citizenship."
B
"Others of the student revolution have publicly burned draft cards and even the American flag."
C
"Perhaps by the time my 4-year-old son is grown, men will have learned to live by the Ten Commandments."
D
"Is it less immoral now to take the easier course and gamble the lives of our sons and grandsons on the outcome?"

Explanation

An allusion is a brief reference to something well known outside the text. The phrase “the Ten Commandments” in choice C refers to the biblical set of moral laws, so it is an allusion. The other excerpts do not make a similarly recognizable reference to an outside text or tradition.
