The anwer to the question above would be that the sentence that contains a pun is the following one: I could not remember how to throw a boomerang, but it eventually came back to me.

In order to understand the pun, you need to know what the meaning of "boomerang" is. A boomerang is "a curve stick that, when throw in a particular way, comes back to the person who threw it". Here the pun has to do with the fact that memories can also come back to you, just as boomerangs do.

<span>The answer would be C. Boomerangs, when thrown, are made to circle back to the user who threw it. The pun is a play on their memory returning to them just as a boomerang would come back to them.</span>

Which TWO lines in this excerpt suggest the physical union of the lovers?
Anestetic [448]

The correct answers are

[<u>(b.) And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;] </u>

<u>Thou know'st that this cannot be said</u>

and

[(d.) And pampered swells with one blood made of two;

And this, alas, is more than we would do.]


In this poem, the flea clearly symbolizes their love.

In the answer (b.), their bloods are mixed in this flea and this could metaphorically signify mixing their bodily fluids while engaging in intercourse.

In the answer (d.), it is clear that the speaker is denied intercourse with this woman and extends his argument from the sentence (b.) that their bloods mixed in the flee signify their physical union and that, despite what the society might suggest about her loss of virginity, there is nothing shameful about this act.
