Read the excerpt from "My First March.”A group in the back started fanning themselves and singing the song "Heatwave,” making everyone laugh and sing along.

The sentence refers to the song “Heatwave,” using its title to connect the scene’s hot weather with a familiar song. This is an allusion, a reference to another work or cultural item. It is not anaphora or repetition because no word or phrase is repeated for effect, and it is not a metaphor because the passage does not directly compare two things.
