PARADOX would be the answer
defined: <span>The term </span>Paradox<span> is from the Greek word “paradoxon” that means contrary to expectations, existing belief or perceived opinion. It is a statement that appears to be self-contradictory or silly but may include a latent truth.</span>

^Wrong. It's irony.

The answer to your question would be that the literary device used by R. K Narayan in this passage of "Like the Sun" is irony.

Irony is a literary device in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning differs from the actual meaning of the words. In addition to this, it may also refer to a situation that ends up in quite different way than what is generally expected. In this case, Sekhar decides to be honest with everyone but it is likely that he didn't consider that this possibility would also include his boss.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

water and oil don't mix

they form an emulsion

oil is less dense then water

Explanation:

Since there are no given answers, let's examine all pieces of information we can find here.

After mixing two liquids, Janet shook this mixture. She did it in order to enhance the rate of dissolving. After some time passed, we see that these liquids are separated into two distinct layers, meaning that water and oil do not mix (oil doesn't dissolve in water). This also means that water and oil form an emulsion - an unmixable suspension of two liquids.

Another feature we can observe is that the oil had risen to the top. Denser liquid will always fall down, meaning that oil is less dense then water.

    Alice is a three-year-old little girl who lives in a big city. She is very cute, her hair is long and brown and she is a little chubby. She certainly smiles beautifully, and her laughter is the most captivating thing. Her eyes seem to be always observing everything and everybody around her.

    Alice can be very moody sometimes. She can be crying for some silly reason in a moment and laughing the next. When she wants to watch her favorite cartoons, nothing can stop her. At night, when she feels hungry, she will not hesitate in screaming for food. If she does not get it right away, she screams again.

   She is very protective of children who are younger than her. Whenever she senses they are in danger, she will turn to an adult for help.

   She is indeed very kind and emotional. If she is watching one of her cartoons and a character is going through a hard time, she suddenly gets desperate and starts crying.

   Alice loves to take strolls around the street where she lives. In fact, she loves strolling anywhere she is taken, because she is a very social little girl who loves being around people, especially happy, excited ones who are her age.

   She likes to dress elegantly, like a real lady! She takes a long time to choose what to wear. Very narcissistic for her age, but that is just part of her cuteness!

   She is a musical person. Whenever she hears music, she easily gets used to the melodic patterns of it and all of a sudden starts singing like there is no tomorrow! She is particularly into nursery rhymes.

   Nowadays Alice has been obsessed with spiders of all kinds. She is both afraid and delighted whenever she sees one. In fact, she has a lot of plastic toy spiders, which she drags around the house all the time. Since she has an excellent sense of humor, she loves trying to scare her parents with those toys of hers.

   Alice is a very curious girl. If she notices anything happening around her, she stares obsessively at the people and the place where it is going on and keeps asking questions in her own peculiar way. She is very enthusiastic about discovering new things, and her eyes are those of an ace investigator who seeks information about a suspenseful event.  Alice is constantly eager to see everything, to interact with everyone. She is an adorable little girl who really wants to get to know the world!
