Question

polar bears vote at north pole is an example of which figures of speech​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Polar bears lives at North pole (Preposition)

Answer 2

Answer:

The figure of speech employed in this sentence is a pun, also known as paronomasia.

Explanation:

Paranomasia are those rhetorical devices that play on similar-sounding words to create an amusing sentence. Puns are of two types:

• Homophonic Puns- which only sound alike but have two distinctly different meanings
• Heterophonic Puns- which sound and spell alike but have two distinctly different meanings.

The given sentence is a response to the question, "Where do polar bears go to vote" and the answer is "north pole". Here, the 'pole' plays on the term 'poll' where one goes to cast their votes (homophonic pun). Since the North pole is the only place where one would find the natural habitat of polar bears, thus the polar bears vote at the north pole.
