Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer and literary devicmost clearly used in the mentioned passage from T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915) is B. Allusion.

As a literary device, allusion makes brief or indirect reference to a person, place, event or other significant element but it does not openly describe it. The reader must have the knowledge to catch and understand the allusion.

In this case, the poetic persona uses an allusion to reference the Biblical figure of Lazarus, whom Jesus Christ resurrected and brought back from the dead: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead."

Is this a good thesis statement for my essay?The Earth has many life-threatening problems caused by humans. One of these problems is the over-consumption of water. If we knew that overusing water caused this, perhaps we would be able to come up with solutions and take action to stop this problem. On average, every American uses 140-170 gallons of water daily. This is an issue that needs to be brought to light because it is caused mainly by humans, we can lessen the problem by conserving water, and there are already possible solutions in place.
