in which of the following examples does the author use an allusion? The aroma of grandma's chicken soup filled the room with warmth. The stars blinked at me from above. I'm as hungry as a horse. That girl is so strong, I think she might be from the planet Krypton.

Your answer would be that "that girl is so strong, I think she might be from the planet Krypton" is the example in which the author uses an allusion.

Explanation:

Allusion is a literary device by which an author makes a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, idea. It does not describe the refence in detail because the author expects the reader to have the necessary background information ir order to spot the allusion and grasp its importance in the text.

In the paragraph above, "planet Kryton" is a reference to a fictional planet appearing in American comic books by Dc comics. The planet is the native world of Superman and is named after the element Krypton. As Superman home planet, people given birth there are expected to be as strong as said fictional character. That's why the author compares the girl's strength to someone from Krypton.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
