English

Troyanec [42]3 years ago

Answer:

“whose origin was a Terminus.“

Explanation:

Paradox is a contradictory assertion itself or contradictory to our expectations.

In the given example, two important words that make this paradox are origin and terminus. Origin, we can say, a start position, a position where something starts or is coming from, or develop from it. Terminus is the end of a bus or a train line, the last station, so generally the outermost point.

Pun is a wordplay that has an intentional humorous effect.

So, the excerpt <em>“whose origin was a Terminus.“ </em>is both paradox and a pun.
