Question

We were all excited to go out to a buffet for dinner as a family. I knew that I could fill my plate with the perfect combination of my favorite foods. The only problem was that I had trouble deciding what would be just right, and eventually I could sense the line growing behind me. I knew there was an issue when my brother had no time for my pickiness. He said, “Hey Goldilocks, let’s move it; there’s always a chance for seconds!”

Read the sentence.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Well, we can use process of ellimination here.

A. A smilie would be something like "You shine like a star". This is not a similie.

B. An allusion is a causal reference to another source, whether that be a book, movie, song, event, etc. This is an allusion. It is B.

C. No. This is not forshadowing to anything. It is a comment on an event that already happened, which was that she took to long to decide what to eat.

D. No. Setting would be something like "the night was dark, chilly, and eeire". This dialouge line is not setting related.
