Main difference between an oxymoron and a paradox

English
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago

An oxymoron is a phrase where two opposites are used together for an effect, sometimes emphasis, drama, or for comedic relief.  Examples are act naturally, painfully beautiful, quiet presence, etc.  A paradox is sort of like a brain teaser. It seems absurd and self contradictory and may be against the common beliefs. Examples:  Less is more, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" from Animal Farm, "War is Peace" from 1984, etc.<span>

As defined in the lesson, how are skimming and scanning different?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Hi there, your answer here is C. Skimming is reading key words or reduced numbers of sentences to find the main idea, while scanning is reading to look for specific information. While both techniques use rapid eye movement and key words, they are used to move quickly through a text for slightly different purposes. When you skim a text, you want to find the main idea. When you scan a text, you want to find specific facts.

Hope this helps! Have a great day - Mani :)
