The correct answer is A. Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots

Explanation:

A pun refers to a humoristic, concise phrase or sentence that is created based on a word that has multiple meanings, words that sound similar or words that are closely related to others. In the case of the sentence "The shoemaker's assistant was given the boot when he was discovered stealing leather" the use of the word "boot" creates a pun because in this case the word "boot" means being fired but it is also a type of shoes which is ironic because the shoemaker's assistant probably worked with boots. This implies, the sentence that explains this pun is "Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots".

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
Trava [24]

Answer: The Germans often sent important messages concerning their war efforts to their ambassador in Washington, D.C.

Explanation:

<em>The Dark Game</em> is a book written by Paul B. Janeczko. It tells a story about cyber espionage, which was quite present throughout the history of the United States.

In the given passage, the cables are described as <em>"an opportunity to gain access to </em><em><u>secret diplomatic messages</u></em><em> sent from Berlin to its ambassador in Washington, D.C." </em>These secret diplomatic messages were certainly important, since the British attempted to reveal them.

In the text, nothing is said about the German plans upon cutting the cables. It is also not stated whether the cables were the only type of communication, or if the new cables are planned. The other options are, therefore, incorrect.
