Answer:

Paradox is the literary device used in the sentence above.

Explanation:

The term "paradox" means "contrary to expectations, existing belief". It is a statement which appears to be a contradiction, but when investigated may be proved to be true. In this case the contradiction has to do with the fact that the speaker asks the addressee not be too long but, at the same time, he/she promises to wait for him/her all his/her life. Waiting for someone all your life will be long for sure. That's the contradiction.

I believe the correct answer is - <span>a) The teen pop star was infamous for wild parties and driving under the influence of alcohol. 
Infamous means to be well known for something bad: in A, the celebrity is famous because of his/her wild lifestyle. B is incorrect because you can put off a fire by doing that, and not kindle it. C is incorrect because couplets consist of two lines, not four (that would be a quatrain). D is incorrect because deceitful would mean that she cheated somebody, when in fact, she felt delightful about her score.</span>

Tom [10]
They are epics. They are long epic poems that speak of events and heroes and what happened. They are not about emotions of the writer but rather try to present a history. This type of narration was used in creating novels where the focus was on events and characters and not on emotions.
