The allusion in this passage is "Pandora's box." Allusion refers to a reference to a person, place, thing, or event from literature, history, mythology, or another source that the author expects the reader to recognize and understand. In this case, the author is using the phrase "Pandora's box" figuratively to suggest that answering all of Harper's questions about electricity might lead to more questions, potentially distracting her father from installing the light fixtures.
