Question

what does the allusion in this text suggest? with the gutters clogged and water rising in the streets, ashley, who was watching th storm from her window, commented, \were going to need an ark to get out of here. ashley thinks the storm will cause major flooding. ashley wants to protect her possessions.

Explanation:

The allusion to "an ark" refers to Noah's Ark from the biblical story of a great flood. Ashley's comment implies the water situation is severe enough to need an ark (used in the flood story to survive), so she thinks the storm will cause major flooding. The second option about protecting possessions isn't supported by the allusion's context.

Answer:

Ashley thinks the storm will cause major flooding.
