Answer 1

Allusion is referencing a character or event from literature or history. I can interpret this allusion about saving money and being frugal by referring to the play "A Christmas Carol" that the character Scrooge is considered greedy and stingy. This means that people might consider Miranda to be frugal and cheap, when she thinks she is just being responsible with her money.
