Riddle

What is heavy forward but not backward?

Choose an answer

A.A pound
B.A stone
C.A gram
D.A ton
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 4 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A ton

Why this is the answer

'Ton' is a heavy unit of weight, but spelled backward it becomes 'not,' which isn't heavy at all -- a letter-reversal wordplay.
