The following is an excerpt from a letter written by a World War I veteran in the mid 1920's.

...Well, we are finally getting what we richly deserve—the Adjusted Compensation Act is law. Even though Calvin Coolidge wouldn't put his John Hancock on the bill, Congress did right by us! Sometimes I think our illustrious President is just too wrapped up in the interests of business to pay much attention to the little guys. Remember how he wouldn't talk turkey with Gompers when the cops in Boston went out on strike. Course back then we thought he was just worried about public safety. I'm never too sure what to think of him — if he was willin' to jabber and jaw once in a while we might get more of an idea of just what he's all about!

Select the correct answer.
What is the allusion in this passage?

You may need to use a dictionary.

A.
Jabber and jaw
B.
Cops
C.
John Hancock
D.
Calvin Coolidge

Answer:

C. John Hancock

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure of speech that allows a text to make a reference to a person, place, work or event that is not part of the text, but which can be included to extend a meaning or highlight a concept or idea within the text. In this case, we can see that John Hancock (the president of the second Continental Congress and the first Governor of Massachusetts) was referenced in the text, even though he did not have a direct association with the subject covered in the text, but his reference highlighted the subject covered in the text. This is an allusion.

"Sarah loved the chickens. She clucked back to them and fed them grain. They followed her, shuffling and scratching primly in the dirt. I knew they would not be for eating."

"'No,' she said. 'There is no sea here. But the land rolls a little like the sea.' My father did not see her look, but I did. And I knew that Caleb had seen it, too. Sarah was not smiling."

"Sarah stepped down from the wagon, a cloth bag in her hand. She reached up and took off her yellow bonnet, smoothing back her brown hair into a bun. She was plain and tall."

"'I wish I could touch a seal right now,' said Caleb, his voice soft in the night. 'So do I,' said Sarah. She sighed, and then she began to sing the summer song again."

Mariette had left the house the next morning. The glimpse Sara caught of her sitting room, as she passed its open door, showed her that everything had been changed. Her ornaments and luxuries had been removed, and a bed had been placed in a corner to transform it into a new pupil's bedroom.

When she went down to breakfast she saw that her seat at Miss Minchin's side was occupied by Lavinia, and Miss Minchin spoke to her coldly.

"You will begin your new duties, Sara," she said, "by taking your seat with the younger children at a smaller table. You must keep them quiet, and see that they behave well and do not waste their food. You ought to have been down earlier. Lottie has already upset her tea."
