We can see a paradox in the lyrics of "Breakeven" in the line:

"Just praying to a God that I don't believe in."

<h3>What is a paradox?</h3>
  • A paradox is a sentence that presents two opposing ideas that complement each other.
  • The paradox intends to create a sentence that expresses the complex, confused and contradictory feelings, which has the power to express the emotions of the speaker.
  • Despite seeming contradictory, the paradox presents aligned ideas, with opposing meanings that harmonize.

The question above does not show the Spenser poem to which it refers, but it is possible to say that the paradox is developed in the poem to show opposing ideas, confused emotions, doubts, and misaligned thinking.

So, for instance, we might say of someone that they're "as strong as an ox" or that they're "like a bull in a china shop" if they're behaving recklessly.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

the answer is paraphrasing

Explanation:

When you infer, you listen closely to someone and guess at things they mean but haven't actually said. It's like guessing, but not making wild guesses. You're making deductions — guesses based on logic.

Paraphrasing means formulating someone else's ideas in your own words.
