<span>To wrestle with a dilemma means to have difficulty deciding between competing resolutions of a problem. This phrase is an example of personification, in that the activity of deciding between alternatives is likened to the activity of wrestling. So the dilemma itself is talked about as if it is able actively resist solution, to fight back, as it were, against being pinned down.</span>

Which words in these sentences are used as puns? 1. An English teacher is like a judge in that she hands out long sentences. 2.
egoroff_w [7]
"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(:
