[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The answer is correct because this line does not contain an allusion. An allusion is a figure of speech that references a well-known person, place, event, or work of literature. The other lines in "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" contain allusions to various literary and historical figures, such as Lazarus, Hamlet, John the Baptist, and Michelangelo. However, the quoted line simply describes a scene and does not make any reference to external sources.
