Answer:

And at night it was beautiful. Even the incoming was beautiful at night, beautiful and deeply dreadful.

Explanation:

The excerpt from Dispatches that is an example of paradox is: "And at night it was beautiful. Even the incoming was beautiful at night, beautiful and deeply dreadful."

A paradox is a statement or a proposition that is seen as self-contradictory and absurd but likely true in reality.

The above answer is an example of a paradox because it speaks of a "beautiful night" and same night is "deeply dreadful". It can be seen that there is something contradicting here. How can a night be beautiful and yet deeply dreadful? That looks absurd but it still carries truth in it.

Therefore, my selection is correct.
