Choose the correct figure of speech used in the given sentence:
A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two tyred.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
The humour rests on 'two tyred', which sounds like 'too tired' while literally meaning having two tyres. A play on words exploiting similar sounds with different meanings is a pun. There is no irony, exaggeration (hyperbole), or substitution of an associated term (metonymy) here.
