Which two lines in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe use allusion? "Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fie

nd!” I shrieked upstarting— "Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor: And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore!

Answer:

As literary devices, "Allusions" are subtle hints to something, inviting the audience to make connections without direct references, especially in unrelated comments.

In this passage, the two lines allude to "the afterlife" & wisdom from ancient mythology:

"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! and "On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door"

Pluto was the deity of the underworld in Roman myth and Pallas (Athena) is the Greek goddess of wisdom, represented by the bust where The Raven rests.

Answer:

As the end of the tax year approaches on April 6th, time is running out for those interested in "Help to Buy" ISAs. The real question is: where is the ideal spot to invest your hard-earned cash? If you prefer immediate access to your funds, the interest rate might only be 1.5%. However, committing your savings for two years could yield rates up to 2.28%. Financial advisor Dave Rubin advises: "If you have some money to invest, even a small amount, it's crucial to keep the taxman from taking a slice of your interest if you want to achieve optimal long-term gains."

Explanation:

As the end of the tax year approaches on April 6th,

This is the first instance where a colon was incorrectly used, and it should have been replaced with a comma.

However, the question remains:

This is another moment where a colon was added properly after initially being absent.

As financial advisor Dave Rubin advises:

This is the third occurrence where a colon was meant to be added but was initially missing.
