The sentence "My television stopped working so I had to pull the plug on it to find out what was wrong" can be interpreted literally. In this context, "pull the plug" refers to physically disconnecting the television from the power source to troubleshoot the issue. However, it's worth noting that "pull the plug" can also have a figurative meaning, which implies discontinuing or giving up on something, but within the context of this sentence, it seems to be used in the literal sense.
