I think you can tell the answer is odd because the multipliers are odd.
Answer: B. It causes the reader to think about how doing nothing should be easy, but in fact can be quite hard.
A paradox is a contradictory statement that nevertheless contains an element of truth. It is a dramatic figure of speech that is often used when describing absurd situations. In this case, the paradox is the fact that Algernon believes doing nothing to be hard, contrary to most people's assumptions. He goes even further by saying that work that is pointless is still preferable to doing nothing.
<span>A. He welcomes them enthusiastically.

Hello :)
When an author uses a fable with a moral top represent a message, it is most likely for the purpose of (Mary Poppins reference here) to use a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Now when I️ saw that, it’s like the writer is trying to get down to the bitter truth in revealing just how flawed human nature is, and how blind we can be to it. A way for the writer to expose it is to slip in some kind of similar scenario in a fairy tale or story. The Brothers Grimm often did the same thing in the stories they wrote and documented.
Hope this made sense >.<
