This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read these lines spoken by Mercutio in Act III, Scene 1 after Tybalt stabs him and answer the question.
No, ‘tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but ‘tis enough, ‘twill serve: ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
Of what are these lines an example?
A. allusion
B. pun
C. monologue
D. soliloquy
Answer:
These lines are an example of a:
B. pun
Explanation:
A pun is a joke that can use words that sound similar but have different meanings, or words that offer more than one possible meaning. When Mercutio says, "and you shall find me a grave man," he is making a pun out of the meanings of "grave". A grave man is a serious man, at least in most situations. In this case, he refers to grave as in "tomb", because he is about to die after being injured by Tybalt.
Despite the lack of a passage in this question, it is still possible to identify the option containing a subject of <em>ridicule.</em>
The correct answer is: Squealer calls the other animals ignorant.
"To ridicule" means to perform an action that undermines the reputation of someone or something in order to make them/it seem foolish. This is accomplished in the sentence as the subject, Squealer, humiliates the object, the other animals, by calling them "ignorant".
