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.
