Answer 1

The option that explains an allusion in the paragraph is:

stonewalled, a reference to a military general who famously withheld an enemy.

This is an allusion because it refers to the concept of "stonewalling," which can be connected to a historical figure and implies an ability to effectively block or defend against attacks.
