"He who loses his life shall find it." Hyperbole Paradox under-statement Verbal Irony

English
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
6 0

The statement given here is an example of : Paradox.

Explanation:

Paradox is when seemingly incomprehensible and diametrically opposite things are said together in tandem in a sentence to draw out a conflicting meaning out of it.

This is a clear example  of paradox as in the given sentence we can see that there are two conflicts that are irreconcilable in any way.

The person who loses his life cannot find it because finding and losing one's life seems diametrically opposite yet the sentence does make sense in the sense of the rhetoric.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

In the context of Malala's Yousafzai life and speech, what does it mean to be brave? cite evidence from the text in your answer​
ICE Princess25 [194]

To be brave means to continue to fight for what you believe and pursue your dreams in the face of opposition, trials and even threats to life.

For example, In Malala's speech, she said, "Dear Friends, on the 9th of October 2012, the Taliban shot me on the left side of my forehead. They shot my friends too. They thought that the bullets would silence us. But they failed. And then, out of that silence came, thousands of voices. The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.  I am the same Malala. My ambitions are the same. My hopes are the same. My dreams are the same."

This means that she has dedicated her life to preaching peace, education, human right and equality, not minding her own insecurity or whatever persecution she faces for what she believes. This is her definition of bravery, boldness and courage.

The use of the phrase "great works on heredity" serves which of these purposes in the passage?
Alla [95]

Answer:

It provides a clear indication about Dr. Pascal's career.

Explanation:

Émile Zola's novel "Doctor Pascal" is from the Rougon-Macquart series, with it being the final novel of the series. The story revolves around themes of heredity and follows the protagonist Dr. Pascal and his life of practicing his profession.

In the given passage from the initial stage of the story, we are given the description of the room, Doctor Pascal's study. This room has cupboards and tables full of books, papers, etc. from his case studies and experiments from <em>"more than thirty years"</em> which include <em>"[his] great works on heredity."</em>

Thus, the use of this phrase gives the impression of how long or how vast the collection of papers was and thus, provides the immense 'proofs' of his career, Doctor Pascal's career. Through all these <em>"papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing"</em>, we are given an insight into what the doctor's career likely is.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
