Analyze the excerpt for literary devices

The excerpt mentions people fanning themselves and singing the song "Heatwave." "Heatwave" is a real-world popular song (by Martha and the Vandellas, released in 1963), which serves as an external cultural reference.

Evaluate the multiple-choice options

• an allusion: A reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art (the song "Heatwave"). This fits perfectly.
• anaphora: The repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses (not present).
• a metaphor: A direct comparison between two unlike things (not present).
• repetition: Repeating words or phrases for emphasis (not present).
