Question

what is the meaning of the allusion in the sentence below? lara had her fifteen minutes when her video of kayaking with dolphins went viral. an extraordinary event a temporary moment of celebrity status a moment that launches someone to stardom

Explanation:

The phrase "fifteen minutes" (or "fifteen minutes of fame") is an allusion referring to a short - lived period of public attention or celebrity - like status. In the sentence, Lara's video going viral gave her a temporary moment of being in the public eye, similar to having a short - term celebrity status. "An extraordinary event" is too general and doesn't capture the celebrity - related aspect. "A moment that launches someone to stardom" implies a more lasting move to stardom, while "fifteen minutes" is temporary.

Answer:

B. a temporary moment of celebrity status
