Answer: A) pun.

Explanation: A pun is a play on words, it is used when a word has more than one meaning or when there are words that sound alike. Puns are often used to cause a humorous effect. In the given passage from "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" we can see an example of a pun in the phrase: Grave men, near death, because the word "Grave" can have two meanings, the imperative of the verb grave which means "dig" or the adjective "grave" which means severe.

Can't tell what is underlined?

If it's "Grave" = pun
"Blinding sight" = oxymoron
Alliteration could be in any group of words that have the same sound in the beginning of the words
"Blaze like meteors" = hyperbole.

Hope this helps
