Answer:

Repeatedly picketing the White House

Explanation:

The National Woman's Party was formed with the sole purpose of fighting for a passage of a constitutional amendment ensuring women's suffrage throughout the United States. The prominent leaders were Alice Paul and Lucy Burns.

Before, during and after the World War 1, most women in America and many other parts of were disenfranchized. Despite the fact that the American President then Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, championed democracy in the world during the wartime, the disenfranchizement of women in America was seen by the National Woman's Party as hypocrisy on his part. Therefore, the group started picketing the White House from between January 10, 1917 until June 1919. These protest group known as the Silent Sentinels were tolerated at first, but were subsequently arrested by police for obstructing traffic when they continued their picketing after the United States declared war in 1917.

Alenkasestr [34]

A Pun means playing with words that sound alike or have more than one meaning. Therefore, 'single' and 'sole' are used as puns in these lines. A pun adds a comedic effect and a sense of irony to the passage. Sometimes it also creates a mockery effect in the passage.

<h3>What is a Pun?</h3>

A Pun means to use the meaning of the words interchangeably to crack a joke or to make a satire.

William Shakespeare has used single and sole as a Pun here. Mercutio is saying that Romeo has cracked a silly joke, the fine skin of the pump (shoes) is all worn out, and the joke is the only thing he is left with. This has created a sense of humor and comedic effect in the passage.

Therefore, 'single' and 'sole' are used as puns in the passage which are creating a humorous effect in the passage.
