Question 1 • CREDIT RECOVERY - ELA 9 - Summer

What is the definition of “pun”?

Answer
A
a passage that is rewritten in your own words
B
a witty saying that contains a double meaning
C
a sentence that captures the main idea of a passage
D
a witty saying that compares two objects or characters

Explanation

A pun is a play on words that uses a word or phrase with more than one meaning, often to create humor. So the definition is “a witty saying that contains a double meaning.” A comparison between two objects or characters describes a different kind of figurative language, not a pun.
