Use the paragraph to answer the question.

Harper had always been a curious child, wanting to know how things operated and what made them run.
While watching her father install new light fixtures, she marveled at the intricacies of how electricity worked. She asked her father multiple questions to satisfy her curiosity. Harper's mother had warned her husband against answering every question as it would slow the installation process. "You're opening
Pandora's box," she said.
Which of the following is the allusion?
(1 point)
• Harper
• electricity
O Pandora's box
• light fixtures

Answer 1

The allusion in the paragraph is Pandora's box.

Answer 2

The allusion in the paragraph is "Pandora's box." This is a reference to Greek mythology where Pandora, the first woman on Earth, opened a box that released all the evils into the world. In this context, Harper's mother warns her husband that answering all of Harper's questions would be like opening Pandora's box, implying that it could lead to a never-ending stream of inquiries. Therefore, the correct answer is "Pandora's box."
