Answer:

A. She tries to make her life more interesting.

Explanation:

Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's novel "Anne of Green Gables," tells the story of orphaned Anne Shirley and her mistaken 'adoption' to the Cuthberts. The story delves into the life of Anne in navigating her life with the Cuthbert siblings, the town, and in school.

Anne had been 'mistakenly' taken to the Cuthbert family who had expected to adopt a boy to help them in the farm-work. The Cuthbert siblings were reluctant to get a girl orphan, Anne, who, with her own insecurity, dreaded being rejected again. Despite her real name being Anne Shirley, when asked what her name was, she replied <em>"I would love to be called Cordelia. It’s such a perfectly elegant name."</em> This shows how she wanted to infuse 'color' in her life, to make it more interesting.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer:

OA. I went to look for my watch, but I can never seem to find the time.

Explanation:

A pun is usually a comical play on the actual statement itself. There usually two elements that are inter connected to each other in some way.

Let's look at A: watch and time correlate since a watch tells time. The statement is ironic the speaker doesn't have his watch, therefore figuratively but maybe actually as well "doesn't have the time". It's therefore a pun.

B: It's a different figurative language technique, but I'm not sure what it is. 100% sure it's not a pun though.

C: it's a metaphor. It's a comparison between two things, in this case the novel was so well explained it had he accuracy of hitting a nail directly on the head.

D: That's just a statement, maybe a poetic quote.
