1. which sentence from "a man about town," by o. henry, contains an example of an allusion?
a. "i strolled along with my heart expanding at the thought that i was a citizen of great gotham."
b. "the pursuit of my type gave a pleasant savour of life and interest to the air i breathed."
oc. "this serious query was at first received with suspicion because it sounded like a conundrum."
d. "a hospital nurse laid a hand that was not particularly soft upon my brow that was not at all fevered."

do you have a list of sources to choose from?

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
