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.

Which denotation of "resplendent" has the

kramer

Answer: A. beaming

Explanation:

The best association for it would be the word 'Beaming' because we must include details from the sentence along with it.

There is talk about ''The caver'' and the ''treasure'' that is reflecting the light. That reflection of treasure is beaming because when it is 'beaming' it means that the object is glowing with the light. Since we are talking about the cavern, beaming light reflected from the treasure is eliminating the darkness from the cavern.
