Answer: The above quote of Chesterton is an example of a(n)<u> paradox </u>

Explanation:

  • A paradox is a self-contradictory statement. Although it might give valid reasons for a particular claim, it eventually leads to a logically unacceptable conclusion. The conclusion seems absurd, but expresses a possible truth. In this example, the same men who write about success are those that are not successful even in writing books.
  • An allegory is a literary device in which a broader message is given either in prose or verse.
  • A parable is a story which teaches us a moral/spiritual lesson (for instance, a story by Jesus from the Gospels)
  • A metaphor is a reference to one thing by mentioning another.

How do the children respond to the mother's secret?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: This study examined children’s secret-keeping for a parent and its relationship to trust, theory of mind, secrecy endorsement, and executive functioning (EF). Children (N = 107) between 4 and 12 years of age participated in a procedure wherein parents broke a toy and asked children to promise secrecy. Responses to open-ended and direct questions were examined. Overall, secret-keeping increased with age and promising to keep the secret was related to fewer disclosures in open-ended questioning. Children who kept the secret in direct questioning exhibited greater trust and better parental ratings of EF than children who disclosed the secret. Findings highlight the importance of both social and cognitive factors in secret-keeping development.
