Answer:

Paradox

Explanation:

The paradox, also known as oxymoron, is a figure of speech that “fuses” opposing concepts, such as cruel and kind, into the same statement. It can be described as the expression of a logical idea through the use of opposing terms. In a paradoxical statement, mutually exclusive notions are related and / or focus on the same framework.

In the field of philosophy, the term paradox was consecrated by the philosophers of Stoicism, who used it to designate notions that at first glance seemed contradictory but, in the end, were quite coherent. The paradox is well known, but is often confused with the antithesis. To end this confusion, it is crucial to keep in mind that in the paradox the terms of opposite meanings are used in relation to the same frame of reference, while in the antithesis the words or expressions of opposite meanings are related to different frames of reference.

Why couldn’t Tom Robinson have grabbed Magellan by his left hand?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

He didn't have a left hand.

Explanation:

Tom's left arm was seriously injured in a cotton gin accident when he was a boy. The muscles were all torn loose, so it is about a foot shorter than his strong right arm, and is essentially useless to him.

Here are my suggestions on what you should edit:

Should cigarettes be illegal? Smoking can cause lung cancer, strokes, and many other diseases. Diseases caused from smoking are one of the most preventable in the US. In the States, more than 480,000 deaths occur a year due to smoking related illnesses. Smoking should be made illegal to protect our health.

I changed it up because you need more variety in your diction (wording), and also the phrasing could be slightly improved. When you wrote "In the US, more than 480,000 deaths occur a year due to cigarettes" the phrasing didn't make much sense. You don't die from a cigarette. You die from diseases that are caused from regular smoking.

Hope this helped!
