Answer:

D. Pun.

Explanation:

A pun is a play on words by using them in a different way. This literary device allows the writer to use a word in different forms by implying a different meaning.

A pun is used more often in a humorous way when a word is used to mean multiple things. This play on words allows the listener to feel funny yet still also gives a sense of correctness in what has been said.

For example, when someone says <em>"a happy life depends on a liver"</em>. So, liver here may mean the human liver, the organ, or simply someone who lives for every moment.  

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Selecte correct text in the passage
timurjin [86]

Answer:

d) Mercedes is the only one at home, and she is too busy with her embroidery in Madam Hailer's room to come near you

Explanation:

a) “You are going to build a large house, Mr. Darrell?” said Victoriano, turning his horse so as to ride beside Clarence; “judging by the amount of lumber being hauled.”

b) “I understand, and I think my father will be willing to sell the land. He is at home now. Let us go up to see him.”

c) They have too much sense not to know that you would not be working in white kid gloves.

d) Mercedes is the only one at home, and she is too busy with her embroidery in Madam Hailer's room to come near you

Since Mercedes is depicted as being at home alone before having a love encounter, it is clear that the author has resorted to narration to communicate this information.
