Question

when you make a pun, youre exploiting or playing with the multiple meanings of words. which of the following is an example of a pun? choose one option a i could hear the frogs croaking and ribbeting in the swamp. b i read a book about gravity: it was pretty heavy. c pop! i heard the tire burst and then the slow hiss as air released. d love is like a warm blanket on a cold day.

Explanation:

A pun plays with multiple meanings of a word. In option B, "heavy" has two meanings - the literal weight (related to gravity) and also meaning profound or serious (as in a book being deep in content). Option A just describes frog sounds. Option C describes a tire - bursting sound. Option D is a simile comparing love to a blanket.

Answer:

B. I read a book about gravity: it was pretty heavy.
