"Sentences" is the punning word in #1, for judges give out sentences. And teachers, as well. Get it? Sentences?
"Manor" is the punning word in #2. Get that? Castle? Home? Manor instead of manner? A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings. 
Another example of a pun is:
The pigs were a squeal.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. And then it hit me.

Do you understand now? LOL. (: Hope this helps(:

Identify the type of verbal used in the following sentence.
NISA [10]
An infinitive is the verb form using the word "to," as in "to eat," "to play," or "to read." An infinitive phrase includes the base infinitive plus other modifiers or complements. An infinitive phrase can often be used as the subject of a sentence because it refers to the act itself rather than doing the action. In this case, "to make it to the end of the day" is an infinitive phrase acting as the subject of the sentence.

Is this a personification?
bagirrra123 [75]
No it is not a personification. A personification is when you give human attributes to an object. For example, “The trees see everything.” The trees do not have eyes so they cannot really see but they are always there and always watching.
