Question

Which figure of speech is an example of paradox? (1 point) Yesterday's English test was a piece of cake. I have a mountain of homework to do tonight. As Hamlet said, "I must be cruel, only to be kind." Writing with a broken pencil is pointless

Answer 1

The example of a paradox from the provided options is: "As Hamlet said, 'I must be cruel, only to be kind.'" This statement contains a contradiction, as being cruel typically seems opposed to being kind, highlighting the complexity of moral reasoning.
