Answer 1

Answer D (religious allusion)

Answer 2

The tragedy of Julius Caesar portraying the evilness in men is the example of "literary allusion." So, option (B) is the correct example to the maiden reference.

Why is the Maiden reference a literary allusion?

"Allusion" is defined as a literary device in which the author makes a brief and unambiguous reference to an important person, event, location, or even text. These references could be political, historical, or literary in nature.

The reference to Shakespeare's popular work, i.e. his play, demonstrates "literary allusion" in the preceding extract, since the Maiden's reference implicitly informs the readers of the relationship between the phrases used by Antony and Iron Maiden.
