Read the sentence below:

I was quite shell shocked when I learned my pet turtle had died.


Which correctly explains the pun in this sentence and the word or words on which it is built?


Shell shocked—a turtle has a shell

I learned—a cold way of describing a death

Pet turtle—turtles are not often pets

Had died—a hint that this might not be true
