Question

read the source of the allusion. the character cinderella, from the fairy tale of the same name, transforms from a disrespected and neglected young woman to the wife of a prince. what is the meaning of the allusion in the sentence below? the judge frequently described her life as a cinderella story. an unending adventure a life without difficulty a dramatic gain in wealth or status

Explanation:

The source of the allusion (Cinderella's story) shows a transformation from a neglected state to being a prince's wife, which involves a significant rise in status. The first option ("an unending adventure") doesn't match as Cinderella's story isn't about unending adventure. The second option ("a life without difficulty") is incorrect because Cinderella faced difficulties initially. The third option ("a dramatic gain in wealth or status") aligns with her transformation from low status to high status (wife of a prince).

Answer:

a dramatic gain in wealth or status
