Question

Which statement is an example of a paradox?

His sister is awfully pretty.

You have to be cruel to be kind.

The elephant’s name is Tiny.

It was dark and dim in the doorway.

Answer 1

Do you know the meaning of Paradox?

Answer 2

a statement or proposition that, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory.

Answer 3

If you know the definition of Paradox then what would you think would be the least recommended answers?

Answer 4

Remember, you eliminate before you guess.

Answer 5

the least recommended answer? probably C

Answer 6

Hmm, well when you stated the definition to Paradox, it said a statement that is logically unacceptable and basically makes absolutely no sense. So yes. The least recommended answer is C. You also have to eliminate another answer to get two best recommended answers left. So what is the other answer that you think is logically unacceptable and the least recommended?

Answer 7

B?

Answer 8

The least recommended is not B. Paradox means something that is not logically sensible right? That's actually your best recommended answer.

Answer 9

okay D? i dont know these three look good to me

Answer 10

You have to really think about these tricky answers. The least recommended would be C and A. "His sister is awfully pretty." That's sensible. The individual thinks that the dude's sister is pretty. "The elephants name is Tiny." This makes sense because the individual named the elephant tiny. The best recommended is B and D. Now think about them. "You have to be cruel to be kind?" Being kind is not cruel. "It was dim and dark in the doorway." How is the door dim and dark?

Answer 11

lets see they both dont are pretty good hmmmm im gonna go with B you have to be cruel to be kind

Answer 12

Yup. That would be the correct answer. I hope this helped c:
