What does the question mean?I don’t need the answer to it I just wanna understand what it means

So basically... Allegory is a longer version of symbolism. It's almost like there are two stories happening- the actual story and a story being represented by the people and objects in the story.

For example... a story about a little kid who finally gets to visit a father he never knew... just to find out that his dad is a butthead. This story could be an allegory for crushed dreams... the kid representing hope and ambition while the father represents a harsh reality.

I guess to help your question specifically, just try and find out what the elements of the story could be representing in Socrates story.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
