Question

select the allusion in the passage.

i know where i have to go. ive known for a long time. i made a promise. the kind of promise you dont break because, if you break it, youve broken part of yourself, maybe the most important part.

but you tell yourself things. things like, i need to come up with something first. i cant just walk into the lions den without a plan. or, its hopeless, theres no point anymore. youve waited too long.

Explanation:

An allusion is a reference to a well - known story, event, or figure. The phrase "walk into the lion's den" alludes to the biblical story of Daniel in the lion's den, where Daniel was thrown into a den of lions as a punishment but was protected by God. In the passage, this phrase is used to convey the idea of entering a dangerous or difficult situation without a plan.

Answer:

"walk into the lion's den"
