To determine which choice describes an allusion, we need to understand what an allusion actually is. An allusion is a figure of speech where a reference is made to a well-known person, place, event, or literary work, often without explicitly mentioning it.
Now, let's evaluate each response choice:
A. "A sound device" refers to techniques used in literature and poetry to create certain sounds or rhythm, such as alliteration or rhyme. This does not describe an allusion, so we can eliminate this choice.
B. "An interpretation" refers to the act of explaining or understanding the meaning or significance of something. While interpreting an allusion can be a part of literary analysis, "an interpretation" itself does not describe an allusion.
C. "A part of a speech" is a vague choice that could be interpreted in different ways. It does not specifically describe an allusion.
D. "A figure of speech" refers to the use of language in a non-literal way to convey meaning or create a rhetorical effect. This choice aligns with the definition of an allusion, as an allusion is a type of figure of speech.
Therefore, the correct choice that describes an allusion is D. "A figure of speech".
