Question

barbara jordan remarks on impeachment, july, 1974 use the passage from a speech by representative barbara jordan to answer the question. which of the following excerpts from the passage features an allusion? "we were further cautioned today that perhaps..."

Answer 1

To determine which excerpt features an allusion, we need to identify a reference to a well-known event, person, literature, or cultural reference in the speech by Representative Barbara Jordan discussing impeachment in July 1974. Allusions typically reference something outside the given text that adds meaning or context.

If the excerpt you provided ("we were further cautioned today that perhaps...") does not reference a well-known entity or concept and instead seems to be a general statement, it likely does not contain an allusion.

Without the full passage, it is not possible to identify an allusion. However, if other excerpts from Barbara Jordan's speech reference historical figures, biblical stories, or well-known events, those would likely be the ones containing allusions.

For a more precise answer, could you provide additional excerpts from the passage?
