The part of speech that has the underlined word in a sentence is…
The answer isn't A because it doesn't provide the emotion of the speaker. The answer is B because it has to do something with the expression with the relation of place, like "well." The answer isn't C because it doesn't involve things occurring at the same point in time and space. The answer is D because it shows the relationship between a noun and a pronoun, like "by." So the answers are B and D.
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.
