Use the passage to answer the question.

We need more female superheroes. The ones we have are rarely given the same narrative time as their male counterparts, and they are usually presented in outfits that appeal to men. I propose we create more female superheroes with their own stories, their own powers, and their own choice of outfit. Should they get equal narrative space . . . or not? Did you answer yes in a Flash? Can you quote one female superhero? Do you know her backstory like kryptonite or spider bites? If your answer is no, then it’s time for more narrative time and backstory for our female superheroes.

The two techniques the author most uses to advance their purpose are:

  1. allusion - The author makes references to common superhero elements and stories that readers may recognize, such as "kryptonite" and "spider bites," to highlight the need for more female superheroes with well-developed backstories.

  2. point of view - The author's perspective on the need for more female superheroes and equal narrative space is clearly expressed, which helps convey their argument and engage the audience.

Therefore, the correct answers are allusion and point of view.
