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.

Thunder and lightning will ruin a pool party, so the weather really isn't "great."

Answer 1

Boundless and bare

A second meaning or sound - alike word used to create humor.

Thunder and lightning will ruin a pool party, so the weather really isn't "great."

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not too sure for number one, but situational irony is basically saying that the situation makes the actions in it have the opposite effect. I'm pretty sure that boundless and bare is the right thing.

A pun is a joke that uses the multiple meanings of a word. The answer is a second meaning or sound - alike word used to create humor.

In verbal irony, the speaker intends to be understood as meaning something that is the opposite to the literal or usual meaning of what the speaker says. in this case, I think it's thunder and lightning will ruin a pool party, so the weather really isn't "great."
