Answer 1

"She mixed..." - homophone

"A horse..." - pun

"I left..." - homonym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently, so flour and flower would be homophones.

Homonyms are words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings, so left as in to leave and left as in the direction are homonyms.

Puns are a method of using words with associated meanings to make jokes that usually involve wordplay. A horse being a stable animal is a pun because horses are kept in stables.

Answer 2

She mixed the flour while sniffing the flower- Homophone

(Words with the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins or spelling are called Homophone. In this sentence, the words 'flour' and 'flower' are homophones. The pronunciation is similar but their meaning and spellings are different.)

A horse is a very stable animal. Pun

(Pun is a joke which gets arise when the meanings of the words differ but they sound similar. In this sentence, the word 'stable' is ironically connected with the animal like a horse and also the word 'stable' is the place where a horse is kept.)

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Homonym

(When two or more words have the same spelling but are different in their meaning, they are called Homonym. In this sentence, the words 'flies' occur two times with the same spelling but with different meanings respectively.)
