Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Remember that a paradox is a statement that when investigated can be proven untrue because the statement contradicts itself. In this case the paradox is option B. The sentence is stating that "You have to be cruel to be kind" contradicting the truth that being cruel isn't even close to to being kind and when you investigate you will see that it isn't the truth.

Hope this helps.
