Question

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

Explanation:

The allusion to "an ark" refers to Noah's Ark from the biblical story, which was used during a great flood. Ellie's comment implies that the storm's flooding is severe enough to require an ark (a large boat) to escape, so she thinks the storm will cause major flooding. The first option is incorrect as the allusion isn't about protecting possessions, and the third is incorrect as she's not planning to build a boat but referencing the need for one due to flooding.

Answer:

Ellie thinks the storm will cause major flooding.
