"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(:

Hi FallDownGuys,

Your Question:

Read the excerpt from Act III, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence: Romeo, come forth; come forth, thou fearful man: Affliction is enamour’d of thy parts, And thou art wedded to calamity. What is the meaning of the phrase "thou art wedded to calamity”? You have not had enough disaster in your life. You often have disaster around you. Your marriage will be a complete disaster. Your confusion is the cause of many disasters

Answer:

Your marriage will be a complete disaster.

The reason its the answer i choose because it states in the sentence "thouh art wedded" which means they got married and the fact that it says calamity at the end states the marriage wont last due to the disasters that will happen between them.

Calamity - "an event causing great and often sudden damage or distress; a disaster."

Wedded - getting married

Where should the comma be placed in the following sentence? it looks like they will be champions again the reporter said?
lesya692 [45]
The correct puntuation is shown in this sentence: “It looks like they will be champions again”, the reporter said. When you have to use direct speech in a sentence, remember to put the comma before the final quotation mark, like it is shown in example. Keep in mind, that it is a rule used for the cases when direct speech is put at he beginning of a sentence.
