Question

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

Explanation:

The allusion to "an ark" references the biblical story of Noah's Ark, which was built to survive a great flood. Kendall's comment about needing an ark because of the storm - related flooding implies she thinks the storm will cause major flooding (as Noah's Ark was for a massive flood). The other options: wanting to protect possessions isn't directly suggested by the ark allusion, and planning to build a boat is not what the allusion implies (the allusion is about the need due to flooding, not her planning to build a boat).

Answer:

Kendall thinks the storm will cause major flooding.
