The bird resting on the door knob was apparently angry. It flew off the handle when I needed to get inside. Which of the following correctly explains the pun in this sentence and the word or words on which it is built? Apparently angry-the word apparently introduces some doubt into the scene described Flew off the handle-birds fly and flying off the handle is an expression for getting angry Get inside-the bird is on the door knob because it also wants to get in doors Resting on the door-birds are almost never described as resting but are considered quite active
