Read the verses from the bible’s ecclesiastes 3.1-4.

1 to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

which lines from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock" are an allusion to these verses?
there will be time to murder and create,
and time for all the works and days of hands
for the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
and for a hundred visions and revisions,
before the taking of a toast and tea.
there will be time, there will be time
to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;

On edge.nuity its A) There will be time to murder and create,

And time for all the works and days of hands

I just took the quiz. Have a nice day!

The answer is indeed the first two lines of the excerpt:

There will be time to murder and create,

And time for all the works and days of hands

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. In the following lines of the poem, a very noticeable similarity with the Bible's verses is present:

There will be time to murder and create,

And time for all the works and days of hands

1  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

The connection is actually quite simple:

- murder:die

- create:be born

- works and days of hands:plant and pluck up that which is planted

All of them, the verses from the Bible and the lines from the poem, are conveying the same message: that there is a proper time for things to take place. It is interesting to observe, though, that the Bible states that with faith. The speaker of the poem, however, is an unsociable man who never finds the courage to live instead of simply watching other people living. He repeats there is time as if he's trying to convince himself that it is OK to spend his days in solitude, that in the future he will "meet the faces" of others.

allusion   is the right answer

sing because that is what they are doing in the sentence

explanation:

the simple predicate is the main verb in the predicate that tells what the subject does. example: my father fixed the dryer. read each sentence. draw a line under the complete predicate.
