Which quotation from the poem "Sonnet in Primary Colors” by Rita Dove includes an allusion?

Question

A: “Each night she lay down in pain and rose”
B: “And rose to her easel, the hundred dogs panting”
C: “Diego’s / love a skull in the circular window”
D: “of the thumbprint searing her immutable brow”

Answer 1

The quotation that includes an allusion is:

C: “Diego’s / love a skull in the circular window”

This line alludes to Diego Rivera, the famous Mexican muralist, and the "skull" likely references elements of Mexican culture and art, particularly associated with Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), making it a significant allusion in the context of the poem.
