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.

which major concepts of Romanticism and Transcendentalism continue to be influential or important in the culture and art of toda
Temka [501]

Answer: Romanticism and Transcendentalism continue to be influential in today's art and culture since they both preach the belief of following your deepest emotions that lead to personal growth, and is portrayed in music, painting, and also in society's input to people's mental health.

Explanation: The main difference between romanticism and Trasendentalism is that the first one addresses the importance of following your emotions to achieve freedom and inner growth, while the latter preaches the transcendent on to thoughts beyond human, gathering inspiration from the universe itself. These main characteristics continue to be influential in today's art and culture due to the reach that art can have in our lives. We can see this in song-writing, paintings, and in the importance that society gives to mental health and expressing what we feel.

The indirect object usually expressed the beneficiary of an action: for whom or for whose sake was the task performed. Here it's "her" - she is getting the flowers. The flowers are the direct object.
