The best response to how an author's use of allusion in an informational text advances the author’s purpose is:

by comparing, contrasting, or connecting people or events.

Allusions can provide context and enhance the reader's understanding by linking the current topic to well-known figures, events, or concepts, thereby strengthening the author's argument or message.
