A: Compound pun
B: Homophonic pun
C: Homographic pun
D: A and C

Answer 1

The type of pun used in the sentence "This hospital is known for having a lot of patience." is a **B: Homophonic pun**. This is because "patience" (the ability to wait) sounds like "patients" (people receiving medical care), creating a play on words based on similar sounds.

So, the correct answer is **B: Homophonic pun**.
