HardFood Riddle
I am a fruit, but also a shape. If you had two of me, I would sound just the same. If you rearrange my letters, it could be a crime. Add me to a montage and I can become a different fruit. Remove my head and you can still listen; take away the end and I can still be eaten. Without a piece of the centre, I am still a word; take away all of the middle and I am just an acronym. What am I?

Choose an answer
A.An apple
B.A plum
C.A fig
D.A pear
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 5 letters, starting with "A".
Answer
A pear
Why this is the answer
PEAR sounds like 'pair' when doubled, rearranges into 'rape' (a crime), loses its head to become 'ear' (used to listen), loses its tail to become 'pea' (still edible), drops a middle letter to become 'per,' and stripped to its outer letters becomes 'PR,' a common acronym.
