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.

Neil is a writer whose credits include Torturama (presumably a horror movie). Why is this
Natasha2012 [34]

The information is significant because it allows direct characterization of the character.

<h3>What is direct characterization?</h3>
  • It is the way to introduce a character to the reader.
  • It is the way to present information about the character in a literal and direct way.

By showing that Neil is a writer and has an interest in horror stories, the narrator presents Neil's characteristics in a very direct way, allowing the reader to have a concrete view of the character.

With this characterization, the reader can be curious about other stories Neil has been involved in, his inspirations, the writing techniques he enjoys, and even what his other interests are.
