One pun is where Fortunato reveals that he is a member of the Freemasons and Montresor says that he too is a "mason." It is a pun because he does not mean a "Freemason"; he means a mason, a craftsman who does brickwork, the kind Montresor plans to perform on Fortunato to seal him in the catacombs forever.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The most concise way to combine these three sentences is:
 d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
Explanation:
<u>Concise means brief. That is, we are supposed to find a way to convey the same message as the original sentences but with few words.</u>
First, we need to see what the sentences have in common, so that we can <u>eliminate repetition</u>. All three clearly speak of <u>"the cars"</u>, so we can <u>only mention that subject one</u>. Sentences 2 and 3 use the verb "are" followed by characteristics of the cars. <u>We can use those characteristics as adjectives, right before the subject, instead of as predicates. That way, we eliminate the excessive use of verbs in one sentence.</u> That is precisely what letter D does:
 d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
