The purpose of allusions is to provide a greater context or meaning to the text. Allusions are references made to a person, place, event, or work of literature that the author assumes the reader is familiar with. By using allusions, authors can add depth and layers of meaning to their writing by drawing on the reader's existing knowledge and understanding of the alluded-to subject. Allusions can enrich the reader's experience by connecting the text to a wider cultural or literary context, enhancing the themes, symbolism, or messages being conveyed. Therefore, the correct response in this case would be "to provide a greater context or meaning to the text."
