Answer 1

Let's categorize each item as either a paradox or not a paradox:

Paradox:

1. Everyone is equal but some of us are more equal than others.
2. "The more choices you have, the less satisfied you are with each one."
3. You must spend money to save money.
4. The bird swam deep under the water. (This can be seen as a paradox if one assumes birds do not typically swim deep underwater.)

Not a paradox:

1. There is no problem that cannot be solved with communication. (This is more of an optimistic statement rather than a paradox.)
2. Even though I was tired, I stayed awake. (This is a statement of contradiction but not necessarily a paradox in the philosophical sense.)

So the completed categorization looks like this:

Paradox

• Everyone is equal but some of us are more equal than others.
• "The more choices you have, the less satisfied you are with each one."
• You must spend money to save money.
• The bird swam deep under the water.

Not a paradox

• There is no problem that cannot be solved with communication.
• Even though I was tired, I stayed awake.
