Answer:

  Paradox.

Explanation:

  A paradox is a literary device that uses concepts or ideas that seem contradictory, they are usually hard to believe but they hold significant value on different levels.

  They can be classified into two groups within the literature; situational or rhetorical. In situational paradoxes, the character finds themselves in a situation hard to believe, while in rhetorical paradoxes, is the character who said something anomalous.

  I hope this answer helps you.

Consider the following sentence:
Ierofanga [76]

Answer: The right answer is the A) Compound-complex.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is an example of a compound-complex sentence because it combines both. On the one hand, it is a compound sentence, since it is made up of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction and a comma: "Employee turnover has decreased significantly this quarter,<em> </em><em>so [...], </em>"you'll have to admit that his results are impressive." On the other hand, it is a complex sentence, since it combines a dependent clause ("even though you may question Sam's training methods") with an independent clause ("you'll have to admit that his results are impressive").
