Question

what is an allusion? (1 point)
the literal definition of a word
a struggle between two opposing forces
a brief or indirect reference to a well-known person, character, or event
a comparison between two otherwise unlike objects, people, or places

Explanation:

An allusion is a literary device that relies on referencing a familiar person, character, event, or work without explicit description, so the correct definition matches the third option. The first option describes denotation, the second is conflict, and the fourth is a comparison (simile/metaphor).

Answer:

C. a brief or indirect reference to a well-known person, character, or event
