I think it's A but not sure....
The document by William Bradford, where he tells the story about john Howland was a journal of his life, where Bradford describes the story of the Pilgrims from 1608.
The chapter begins with Bradford referring to the resolution of some troubles. The boat the Separatists had set out from England on, the Speedwell, had developed leaks, so the passengers transferred to the Mayflower, which was a cargo ship. This was uncomfortable fit for the people on board.
the intention of the author was to show everyone the life conditions Pilgrims had at that time, feel free to take advantage of that to explain and deep dive in the intention of the book.
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.
