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.

Part A: The author describes the dangerous situation that the characters in the story are facing.

Throughout the passage the speaker reminds the reader of the danger the characters are facing. This creates suspense. A flashback does not create suspense. The background and training adds to how dangerous the situation is since only a person that well-trained can complete the rescue but it doesn't add to the suspense: the danger does. A is also wrong for the same reason.

Part B: “I shouldn’t think of this as easy. I know what I need to do here, but I could lose one these men if just one thing goes wrong.”

This quote best shows the danger that the speaker and the characters are in. It shows that the situation is life and death. One wrong move and it's all over for someone.
