Explanation:

Allusion is a literary device used to make a reference to a lake or someone known to the reader or the public that is consuming the established media. The allusion is placed to increase public understanding, making a clear and well-defined reference.

An example of this is: "When I left for work, the day was so dark, it seemed like a setting for a short story by Edgar Alan Poe."

- "a nonrestrictive clause functions as a modifier to a noun (that is an object, person or concept). these clauses can be described by the following three options: it is set off by comas, it contains a subject and a verbs and it adds nonessential information to the sentence.

for example, in "here is bill gates, who confounded microsoft software company" we can identify "who confounded microsoft software company" as a nonrestrictive clause modifying the noun bill gates. this clause can be describes as a nonrestrictive clause because it is separated by a comma, it adds nonessential information to identify who bill gates is and it must contain both a subject (who) and a verb (confounded)."
