It would most likely be A. Since puns are basically word play or innuendo. Because the second would be a simile the third a interjection the third It doesn't even have to do with puns.

Basically the first one sorry. :P

I MET a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Which word supports the meaning of decay?

OpenStudy (gahm8684):

Round Colossal Wreck Bare

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wreck would be the best choice because round would mean its circular,colossal means large bare means seen or exposed.
