Answer:

B). It comments on how smart Newton was.

C). It makes a joke to break up the formal background on Newton.

D). It uses a slang meaning of "wise guy" to suggest Newton is a know-it-all.

Explanation:

Pun is demonstrated as the literary device that involves a play of words with similar meanings or sound are deliberately put together to either create a humorous or rhetorical impact.

As per the question, the pun 'wise guy' is efficacious as the play of words allows the speaker to serve various purposes. The word 'wise guy' together helps him present a critique on smartness of Newton while 'guy' humorously break up the formal context on 'Newton'. The use of adjective 'wise' assists him to display a slang meaning of 'wise guy' to imply that Newton knew-it-all('considered the pull a force of nature...as gravitas'). Thus, <u>options B, C, and D</u> are the correct answers.

What does say i can or say i cant and your right either way mean
Jet001 [13]
I can means being able to can’t means you’re not able to and you’re right either way means that the way to look at a situation will affect how you act. If you go into a quiz or test at school saying to yourself "I can't do this" then you are more likely to not do well because of your mind set.
