The term that best matches this definition: a statement that seems to contradict itself is Paradox. Thus the correct answer is D.

<h3>What is a Paradox?</h3>

A paradox is a statement or assertion that, appears illogical or mismatched at first view but after closer examination, may reveal to be well established or true. It depicts an object that combines opposing traits or characteristics.

A claim that violates one's knowledge and is logically self-contradictory is called a paradox. The premise is accurate despite having a good explanation for it. It has aspects that conflict with one another while also being connected.

A paradox's main function is to draw people's attention and get them to have a different opinion. A paradox is a narrative device that encourages the reader to think more carefully or critically.

Therefore, option D Paradox is the appropriate answer.

Answer:

In my opinion, video games are bad for both kids and teenagers because the genre can affect mood, and the amount of time they have to play can affect grades. “86% of the parents said their teenagers did spend too much time playing video games” ... As kids continue to play video games, they can easily become addicted. Certain genres of video games, including violent games, can cause children and parents to argue and can contribute to worsening grades in school. Although, some video games fall into the educational genre and are good for young kids because they can learn new things. Some adults limit the number of times children play video games, while others don't, giving kids the chance to play whenever for however long. I believe that it is good to limit the amount of screen time kids have to play video games. Most kids would choose to play games late at night, which can cause them to be tired and sleepy in school. This can also cause grades to slip.

i hope this is good

cluponka [151]

The changes and developments in Odysseus' character are an essential part of the story. All throughout his journey, he's presented with all kinds of adverse situations that lead him to adapt his personal qualities in order to overcome them and succeed.

We see this in the harm that pride causes getting in the way of his plan to surpass Polyphemus; after which he starts to become more resiliant and focused. Also in the hopelessness he felt trapped on Calypso's island; which after the escape injected him with a tremendous will-power that would lead him back home, as well as a renewed sense of pride in his own intelligence and abilities.

Hope this helps!
