Question

what does the allusion in this text suggest? with the gutters clogged and water rising in the streets, molly, who was watching the storm from her window, commented, \were going to need an ark to get out of here.\ molly thinks the storm will cause major flooding. molly plans to build a boat.

Explanation:

The allusion to an ark refers to the biblical story of Noah's Ark, which was built to survive a catastrophic, world-covering flood. Molly's comment in the context of rising street water and clogged gutters links to this flood narrative, indicating she anticipates severe flooding. The second option is incorrect as she does not state a plan to build a boat, only references needing an ark-like solution for the flood threat.

Answer:

Molly thinks the storm will cause major flooding.
