Paradox: A paradox is a statement that appears self-contradictory but, upon closer examination, reveals a deeper truth or meaning. while a Contrast, on the other hand, is about the the act of placing things side by side of different things to highlight their differences, not necessarily a contradictory statement.
The answer should be contrast now not paradox; paradox is a statement that seems to be unwise or f**lish but when you take a look at it properly it has some truth in it....so paradox can't be answer
When two statements or comparison.....I thought paradox is a statement that is self contradictory but actually true....it's should be contrast or you could throw more light on how it's paradox please.
A paradox is a literary device or statement that appears to be self-contradictory or logically impossible at first glance, but upon closer examination, reveals a deeper truth or hidden meaning. Examples include phrases like "less is more" or "the child is the father of the man".
The given answer to the stated question was a paradox. However, a paradox is self-contradictory and does not pertain to two elements in a sentence as provided in the question. I suggest the answer may be contrast (c).
