Answer: B. It causes the reader to think about how doing nothing should be easy, but in fact can be quite hard.

A paradox is a contradictory statement that nevertheless contains an element of truth. It is a dramatic figure of speech that is often used when describing absurd situations. In this case, the paradox is the fact that Algernon believes doing nothing to be hard, contrary to most people's assumptions. He goes even further by saying that work that is pointless is still preferable to doing nothing.

Describe one of the main themes of "A Wedding Gift."
ss7ja [257]
Weddings are one of the most auspicious celebrations in India. Choosing a wedding gift is quite a ritual. Most wedding gifts follow a unique theme. This theme in India is mostly related to utility.
Utility goods are one of the main themes of a wedding gift. A coffee or tea set, a coffee maker, a rice cooker, a dinner set, a set of casseroles are the primary choices. Then comes crockery and cutlery sets.
Bedsheets, bed covers, table cloths, table mats are also preferential. Whatever be the present it has to be thoroughly utilised by the newly married couple. Sarees, suit pices, dressing material are also perfect gifts for weddings.
Paintings and photo frames are seldom gifted as they are more of decoration and less of utility. So next time you choose a gift make sure it fulfills the code of utility.
