Answer:

<em>She could be in many more circus performances if she'd learn when to stop clowning around.</em>

This is the sentence that contains the pun.

What best explains the pun here is that Kiko is a circus act at a circus show but she does not know when to be serious as she gets so silly during rehearsals.

The show directors believe she would be in more circus performances if she would learn when to stop clowning around.

The pun here is clowning around.

Explanation:

A pun is a play on words. It is a literary device that has two different meanings.

From the answer above, a clown is someone that makes people laugh through making funny faces and jesting. A clown is usually found in a circus.

Kiko works in a circus and because of her playful nature, she doesnt appear in a lot of circus performances.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Quoted from Virgil's "The Aeneid" and poken by Anchises, the father of Aeneas.

Explanation:

Taken from Book VI of "The Aeneid" by Virgil, the quoted excerpt is spoken by Anchises to Aeneas. Meeting his dead father's soul to in the underworld, Aeneas was told by his father about the fate of Rome.

Through the speech or voice of the wise father, Virgil propounds his own personal ideals, propagating that the Romans should try to be more merciful in their conquests. Virgil uses Anchises as a means to voice his own beliefs and wants for Rome to do and stand for. Anchises uses rhetoric in saying that the Roman Empire's justification for what it had done to bring upon justice and law is the same as the Trojans' and Aeneas had made when they settled in Rome.

Which example avoids redundancy of language? A) The supper they fed us was tasty and delicious. B) The supper they fed us was de
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Example that avoids redundancy of language is Option  B) The supper they fed us was delicious and filling.

Explanation:

Redundancy means the words used have the same meaning. This leads to repetition in the sentence and doesn't give a good effect to the reader. He might get confused by the writing with redundancy as well.

Option A refers the food as delicious and tasty which mean the same. So, it is redundant. Option C refers to supper as plentiful and abundant which mean the same, that the supper was more than enough for them. This option is therefore redundant. Option D uses words like nutritious and good for us, which mean the same.

Hence, the example that avoids redundancy is Option B which uses words delicious and filling for the supper. Delicious means tasty and filling means it was enough to fill their stomach.
