Write three or four sentences in which you name the figure of speech, quote any two examples, and explain why the effect is humorous.

One example of a figure of speech is a pun, which is a play on words that have multiple meanings or sounds similar but have different meanings. For example, "I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough" and "I'm reading a book on anti-gravity, it's impossible to put down" are both puns that use wordplay to create humor. The effect is humorous because it relies on the audience's ability to recognize the double meaning or wordplay, which can catch them off guard and make them laugh.
