The correct answer is paradox.


Paradox is a figure of speech that combines two completely opposite things into one. In the excerpt above, we can see that the speaker is willing to wait for his/her loved one his/her entire life, however, only if they don't take too long to get to him/her. This is a paradox because they weren't willing to wait for them long in the first place, as it turns out.

This is an example of a paradox. 

He/she would wait for his/her's person of interest their entire life, of course, if it's not that long. It is a clever paradox.

How should I start a body paragraph on comparing two different countries standard of living based on health? Please help as soon
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Try one country at a time.
First explain the countries healthy standards individually.
Then compare and contrast the two countries together.
That should help you start off!
Just keep sharing ideas and facts + blending in your own opinions on the matter.

Good luck! :D
