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.

Which statement is true about common and proper nouns?
kotegsom [21]
In the first question, the answer is - D. A - cannot be the correct answer as common nouns (such as - chair, computer, desk) don't have to be written in capital letters. And regarding B, proper nouns (such as John, Thames. America) always have to begin with a capital letter. C - is simply incorrect, using proper nouns, that is, names, isn't more polite than saying, for example, a wall.

Regarding the second question, the answer is - B. It is the only sentence in which the past simple tense of the verb "to bring" is used. The first example uses the present perfect tense (which isn't a past tense), C - present continuous, and D - future simple.

Explanation: repetition is a literary device that consists in repeating certain words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph, in order to create an impact in the reader.
