Which sentence in the passage contains an allusion? A Different Route by Tirzah Tyler "Thanks for driving me to the mall today," Natalie told her sister. Natalie was excited about buying a birthday present for her favorite teacher. "No problem, Sis," Stephanie said. "My car is cheaper than a taxi." "Your car is free," Natalie said. "For you, not for me," Stephanie said with a chuckle. 1.( She gripped her steering wheel and looked both ways before driving into an intersection.) "I'm glad the Sun is out today," she added with a relaxed smile. "Yesterday, we got so much rain," Natalie said. 2. ( "The weather was raining cats and dogs.") Then she meowed and barked. Stephanie laughed out loud. After she drove a few blocks, she suddenly hit the brakes. "Uh-oh," she said. "This next street is flooded. I need to back up." "You can't drive through it?" Natalie asked. 3.( "Only if I part the Red Sea,") Stephanie replied. She checked behind her to make sure the coast was clear. 4.( Then she cautiously backed up and made a left turn.) "Driving on a flooded street is too risky," she said. "We can take a different route to the mall." "Riding with you is definitely better than calling me a taxi," Natalie said. "You're a taxi," Stephanie said. Both girls laughed.

Explanation: I think it’s 1 because it kinda shares an idea of what she’s trying to do which is trying to drive into an intersection as the text says.

    i got this from a website called shmoop. i will give you a link and i will show you half of it. hope it : )

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.
