To determine which sentence contains a pun, we should first understand what a pun is. A pun is a form of wordplay that exploits multiple meanings of a word or words that sound similar but have different meanings.
Now, let's analyze each sentence to find the pun:
1. "You can throw peanuts to the monkeys at the zoo." There is no wordplay or play on multiple meanings in this sentence, so it does not contain a pun.
2. "I have a weighty opinion about the new elephant at the zoo." In this sentence, the term "weighty" is used to play on the word "weight," but not in a humorous or clever way. Therefore, this sentence does not contain a pun.
3. "The children couldn't wait to get off the school bus!" This sentence does not involve any wordplay or play on multiple meanings, so it does not contain a pun.
4. "Is it strange that they sell cotton candy at the snack bar?" In this sentence, the word "strange" is used to create a play on multiple meanings. It can refer to something unusual as well as the act of exchanging money. Therefore, this sentence contains a pun.
The correct answer is option 4. "Is it strange that they sell cotton candy at the snack bar?" contains a pun.
