Which of the following statements contains a pun?
A.The key that unlocked his genius.(Paragraph Two)
B.Mr. Syson"s contention...has captivated curators...(Paragraph Three)
C....the monumental Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Saint John the Baptist.(Paragraph Four)
D....an unfinished, yet searing, Saint Jerome.(Paragraph Six)请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:A
修辞题。[A]中的“key”和“unlocked”既可以当“钥匙”和“锁”来理解,也可以当“关键”和“释放”来理解,是一句巧妙的双关语,因此选[A]。[C]和[D]仅为一般的暗喻;[B]中的“captivated”本义为“囚禁,俘虏”,文中使用的“吸引,迷惑”之意为该词的引申义,三者均不包含双关语,故排除。
