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 is the best example of a topic that is too broad?
vichka [17]

Answer:

I would say A.

Explanation:

It IS one of the longest sentences, but that is not the point.

I would say it's too broad because there will probably have to be more details than just this sentence, for example.

''Processed foods can cause health issues for people with weak immune systems, or people with diabetes. They can cause high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.''

Hope this helps.
