Answer 1

The sentence 'I want to look for my watch, but I can never seem to find the time.' is a pun because it uses the double meaning of 'find the time' for a humorous effect. The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that is an example of a pun is: 'I want to look for my watch, but I can never seem to find the time.' A pun is a form of word play that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. Here, the pun arises from the double meaning of 'find the time' - both to find the physical watch and to find a moment to do something.
