English
2 answers:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago

The correct answer is A. I want to look for my watch, but I never seem to find the time.

Explanation:

A pun is a play of words commonly based on expressions or words that have two meanings or two words or expressions that sound similar which are used for humor. This can be seen in the sentence "I want to look for my watch, but I never seem to find the time" because in this sentence the expression "find the time" has two meanings as this generally means to have time for some activity but in this case it means to look at the watch and determine the time, which creates a humorous sense based on different meanings this expression  has.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence is a document that was drawn up by Thomas Jefferson stating the rights that every man should have from birth that the King of England had taken away. The Declaration of Sentiments, drawn up by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is a similar document, but this one states that all women are born with the same rights as men and that the men have been taking those rights, the same way that King George III did to the founding fathers of the country. Another similarity is that they were both written in order to try to convince the population of an idea that was overwhelmingly unpopular.
