Question
what does the allusion in this text suggest?
with the gutters clogged and water rising in the streets, leah, who was watching the storm from her window, commented, \were going to need an ark to get out of here.\
leah wants to protect her possessions.
leah plans to build a boat.
leah thinks the storm will cause major flooding.
The allusion to "an ark" references the biblical story of Noah's Ark, which was built to survive a catastrophic, world-covering flood. Comparing the current street flooding to the flood requiring Noah's Ark implies the situation is severe enough to feel like a major, destructive flood.
