The Smiths had a fancy party at their home. Their dog, Winslow, was allowed to stay inside during the party. Winslow was very well-behaved. He walked quietly around the room and stopped to sit by a group of guests that were talking. One female party guest said to a male guest, "Did you notice that the dog has a fur coat and pants?"

Question

What is humorous about the guest's question to the other guest?
A.
Winslow is showing very good manners, so the lady's statement is funny because she is being rude to the dog.
B.
"Pants" can mean that the dog is breathing fast or that it is wearing a clothing item that covers its lower body.
C.
It sounds like the woman is jealous of the dog's fur, and she is trying to see if anyone else likes it better than her outfit.
D.
The female party guest's question is funny because she is a female talking to a male party guest about fashion.

Answer 1

B. "Pants" can mean that the dog is breathing fast or that it is wearing a clothing item that covers its lower body.

This is humorous because the word "pants" can refer to both the act of breathing heavily (which a dog might do after being active) and to a piece of clothing, creating a playful ambiguity in the statement.
