Question
which figure of speech is used in this text? i got hit in the head by a can of soda. luckily it was a soft drink. pun allusion onomatopoeia
A pun is a play on words that exploits multiple meanings of a term or similar-sounding words. Here, "soft drink" plays on the literal meaning of "soft" (not hard, so less harmful when hitting the head) and the common term for a non - alcoholic, carbonated (or not) beverage. An allusion is a reference to another work, person, event, etc., which is not present here. Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sound, and there's no such word here. So the figure of speech is a pun.
