Julius Caesar and the background information on the
allusion it contains
Which statement best explains the meaning added by the
allusion in this excerpt?
Excerpt:
[FLAVIUS.] See whether their basest mettle be not
moved.
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
Go you down that way towards the Capitol;
This way will l. Disrobe the images
If you do find them decked with ceremonies.
MARULLUS. May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal
FLAVIUS. It is no matter, let no images
Be hung with Caesar's trophies. I'll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets
So do you too, where you perceive them thick
These growing feathers plucked from Caesar's wing
Alluding to the ancient festival of Lupercal explains why
people are celebrating and decorating the streets.
The allusion to Lupercal provides an association with
wolves, which intensifies the sense that violence is
coming
Since Lupercal is associated with the ancient gods, this
allusion invokes the sense that fate governs human
endeavors
Lupercal alludes to an important patriotic festival, and
celebratigmCaesar on Lupercal indicates his high
position in Rome

Lupercal alludes to an important patriotic festival, and  celebratigmCaesar on Lupercal indicates his high  position in Rome

Option D.

Explanation:

The back ground information is provided here and based on that information, we see that Marullus refers to Lupercal and while referring to Lupercal, he is having some kind of fear and is scared.

But Flavius tries to explain it to him that whatever is been done, nothing is important among all this and it is to be made sure that the statutes which are decorated are not done as a tribute to Cezar.

the correct answer is the first option "the bolkshevik revolution". the passage makes reference to many of important events that occured in the revolution, such as the assemblies, in this case the animals are gathered in an assembly after a protest, the murder of fellow partners, the speeches given by the leader of the revolution, among other aspects. the last choice is possible, but in this passage in particular it is not emphasized the fight between the characters, that is the two pigs, that represent lenin and stallin.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
