Answer:

In Act IV scene I of Romeo and Juliet, Paris is asking for Friar's help in his marriage with Juliet. He also discusses Juliet's bad condition presumable because of her cousin's (Tybalt’) death.

Explanation:

Romeo and Juliet is a tragicomedy (having element of both tragedy and comedy) by William Shakespeare (1563-1616).

By Act IV Romeo and Juliet have already been married secretly by Friar Lawrence. Romeo against his will is away from Juliet (because of the murder of Tybalt). Juliet's health is deteriorating with each passing day because of the absence of Romeo. The Capulets assume that Juliet's falling health is because of Tybalt's death, so they decide to marry Juliet with Paris as soon as possible. It is for this purpose that Paris comes to Friar Lawrence's cell, requests him to wed them, and discusses Juliet's health conditions. While Paris is still in the Friar's cell, Juliet arrives there for asking Friar's help to save her somehow from this marriage.

Answer:

A). It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

Explanation:

Paradox is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author presents a statement that is self-contradictory or incongruous juxtaposition of ideas which captures the readers' attention and reveal a latent truth.

As per the question, option A i.e. 'it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition' most appropriately elaborates the use of paradox in the given excerpt. The author <u>incongruously juxtaposes the conventional idea of war by presenting it as an 'adventurous expedition' which eventually turn into an 'exhaustion and war of attrition' </u>to highlight the serious concern that 'the causes for the war dampens over time and gradually all that is significant is staying alive'('no cause other than our own survival'). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
