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.
Which techniques does the author most use to advance their purpose? Select the two correct answers.

The author uses the following techniques to advance their purpose:
1. **Connotation** - The author uses words that carry emotional weight to convey their message about the importance of female superheroes and how they are often marginalized.
2. **Allusion** - The author references well-known elements from superhero lore (like "kryptonite" and "spider bites") to illustrate the familiarity and depth of male superheroes' backstories compared to the lack of female superheroes in the narrative.
These techniques help to emphasize the need for more female superheroes and the importance of their representation and stories.
