A paradox contradicts itself so therefore it would have to be “Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life.”

Answer:

Explanation:

The Importance of Being Earnest is a play written by Oscar Wilde, and it develops a world where the protagonists escape from the real world and their tasks by addopting different personalities.

A paradox is defined as a statement that contradicts itself. Letter D accomplishes it since at the beginning it seems to talk about something "serious" and how this can lead to "amusement in life." The adjective "serious" means not cheerful, while the noun amusement refers to something enjoyable. So, if the first one is necessary to reach second one, the statement contradicts itself, turning into a paradox.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!<br> Why do good people do bad things sometimes?
Ainat [17]

Explanation:

Obedience to authority. It's quite difficult for most people to ignore the wishes of those in authority positions. People also feel like they're less responsible for wrongdoings if they act under the direction of someone else. Both of these reasons explain why employees are likely to act out the unethical wishes of their supervisors--and feel far less guilt than if they had decided to do it themselves.
