<u>A. Paradox</u>

In literature, a paradox is a statement that may seem silly, contradictory, and usually opposite to what is commonly believed or accepted, but that has a great potential to be true, and it may actually be.

This passage exemplifies a paradox because society normally believes that a worker on an oil rig behaves in a rough and uncouth manner, usually talking with curses or bad words and loud, and is not polite at all. However, this may be only a prejudice, as for someone's occupation does not necessarily determines how a person behaves. Someone who does hard manual labor not necessarily has to be rude, they may be, as well, elegant, and talk properly.

on a recent test matthew got 18 out of 40 problems correct at the same rate how many problems would matthew get correct if there
Alona [7]

Answer:

27

Explanation:

You have to simplify 18 and 40: divide each number by 2, and you get 9 and 20. For every 20 questions, Mathew gets 9 right. Now, you multiply 20 questions by 3 to get the second part of the problem, 60 questions. Because you multiplied 20 by 3, you do the same with 9. 9 x 3= 27. For every 60 questions, Mathew gets 27 right.
