Answer: "time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." is this a homophonic or homographic pun?

✓ Homographic

Step-by-step explanation:

Homographic means: Word that shares the same written form as another word but has a different meaning.

Homophonic means: Movement of accompanying parts in the same rhythm as the melody.

Homographic makes much more sense because "time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." is not a melody.

Hopefully this helps you!
