Main difference between an oxymoron and a paradox

English
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago
4 0
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>

Which excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone shows a cause-and-effect relationship? “The group traveled up the Nile in two
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

<em>Once they had mastered the three kinds of Egyptian writing, nineteenth-century scholars had the key to more than three thousand years of Egyptian history.</em>

Explanation:

The cause-and-effect relationship is a type of relationship where one thing or event makes another one happen. The first thing/event is referred to as the cause, and its consequence is the effect.

The excerpt from<em> The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone </em>that shows this relationship is the fourth one: <em>Once they had mastered the three kinds of Egyptian writing, nineteenth-century scholars had the key to more than three thousand years of Egyptian history.</em>

We have two events - the 19th-century scholars mastering the three kinds of Egyptian writing, and them having the key to more than three thousand years of Egyptian history. The former is the cause of the latter: if they didn't master Egyptian writing, they wouldn't know that much about Egyptian history.

In the poem "Grass", the grass is the speaker. True or False
Maksim231197 [3]

True, the grass growing in the battlefield's role was to replace death and loss with growth.

The type of poem "anyone lived in a pretty how town" is narrative. Ballad is a poem or song that is narrated in short stanzas, while acrostic is a type of poem where certain letters spell out a phrase or word. E.E narrates the life of anyone living in pretty how town beautifully, so I'd say narrative.

False. "In a Station of the Metro" is an iconic Imagist poem, but is more considered as the first haiku, even though it lacks the structure of a traditional haiku.
