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.

Is the pronoun in the sentence reflexive, intensive, both, or neither? Jason finished the remodeling himself
EleoNora [17]
The pronoun <em>himself </em>is an intensive pronoun only, it is not reflexive.
Intensive pronouns are used to place emphasis on the subject of a sentence. Here, we want to emphasize that Jason did the whole work on his own. You can easily deduce whether a pronoun is intensive or reflexive if you remove it from the sentence - if the sentence still makes sense, then the pronoun is intensive because they are not essential in sentences. If the sentence no longer makes sense, it means that the pronoun is reflexive.
Here, if you take out the pronoun, the sentence will go like this:
Jason finished the remodeling.
As you can see, the sentence still makes perfect sense, which is why the pronoun is intensive.
