The words used as puns are SENTENCE and MANOR.

In literature, a pun is a play upon words to produce humorous effects (meaning, pronunciation, spelling). For example, in "atheism is a non-prophet institution" the word "prophet" is used instead of "profit".

In the first given sentence, the word "sentence" is used instead of "punishment".

In the second one, the word "manor" is used with the meaning of "manner".

Which sentence uses syntax for emphasis?
Bas_tet [7]
One of the following sentences that uses syntax for emphasis would include: It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't. -Martin Van Buren.

Syntax refers to the words order and the structure of a sentence, so the "to do a job right" and the "than to explain why you didn't" part emphasizes to the reader the "to do a job right" part.

Peter is writing a love letter to Helen, and he has decided that the word thin is not exactly the right word to use at one point
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well anorexic is not exactly an endearing quality. If Helen is svelte, she would hardly like to be called anorexic. The former means that she is exotic in a very attractive manner as well as being athletically thin. That's a real compliment. Anorexic is a disease caused by undereating.

He should be sensitive to how she things about language and how careful she is. D might be a factor.

She would hardly care how anorexic originated. It's not something she likely wants to be associated with.

If the word has a hidden meaning form denotation, then it is something to consider carefully. Skinny is an example. Scrawny is even worse. Helen would not like to be called either of those. They have a disagreeable meaning associated with them.

I'm not sure what the proper interpretation of thematic form of a word is. I know what a theme is, and it does not sound very romantic, unless he's going to go on forever about her thinness which is not very smart.

I would choose B. Don't use words that have hidden meanings or obvious connotations.
