Answer:

Oxymoron:

1: O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!

Paradoxes:

2: What a pity that youth must  be wasted on the young.

3: I can resist anything but  temptation.

4: How is it possible to have a  civil war?

Explanation:

Oxymoron:

It is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.

e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.

Based on this definition only "O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!" falls under the category of Oxymoron.

Paradox: It is similar to oxymoron, but it is usually a statement with logically contradictory statements which on investigation may or may not be logically true.

e.g "Everything I say is lie" , Barber Paradox: "A male barber shaves all and only those men who don’t shave themselves. Does he shave himself?"

As we can find out there are no contradictory terms/words, but the statements which may contradict each other.

Based on the above, we conclude that sentence 2, 3 and 4 are Paradoxes.

In Sophocles's Greek tragedy Oedipus the King, Oedipus discovers that he has unknowingly killed his biological father and marrie
TiliK225 [7]
I think it would be 3-anagnorisis because he discovered that he unknowingly killed the King/his biological father (who in the myth knew he would be killed by his son while the son married his mother) and swore before that, that if he ever found the murderer of the late king, he would stab out their eyes. The queen, when she discovered it, was overwhelmed by grief and suicides in the myth<span />
