Can't tell what is underlined?

If it's "Grave" = pun
"Blinding sight" = oxymoron
Alliteration could be in any group of words that have the same sound in the beginning of the words
"Blaze like meteors" = hyperbole.

Hope this helps

Answer: A) pun.

Explanation: A pun is a play on words, it is used when a word has more than one meaning or when there are words that sound alike. Puns are often used to cause a humorous effect. In the given passage from "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" we can see an example of a pun in the phrase: Grave men, near death, because the word "Grave" can have two meanings, the imperative of the verb grave which means "dig" or the adjective "grave" which means severe.
