Please help, been stuck for a while.


What rhetorical device is
evident in the following
passage from Thomas Paine's
"The Crisis, No.1"?
Let it be told to the future
world, that in the depth of
winter, when nothing but
hope and virtue could survive,
that the city and the country,
alarmed at one common
danger, came forth to meet
and to repulse it.
A. allusion
B. common ground
C. logical appeal
D. emotional appeal

Respuesta :

Answer: allusion

Explanation:

I think it's allusion because Paine refers directly to the an event in history (the future).
