What is the passage about
Answer: LAST SUMMER, MARTIN TORRES WAS WORKING AS A COOK IN AUSTIN, Tex., when, on the morning of Aug. 23, he received a call from a relative. His 17-year-old nephew, Emilio, had been murdered. According to the police, Emilio was walking down a street on Chicago’s South Side when someone shot him in the chest, possibly the culmination of an ongoing dispute. Like many killings, Emilio’s received just a few sentences in the local newspapers. Torres, who was especially close to his nephew, got on the first Greyhound bus to Chicago. He was grieving and plotting retribution. “I thought, Man, I’m going to take care of business,” he told me recently. “That’s how I live. I was going hunting. This is my own blood, my nephew.”

C. to distinguish between his own life and the culture of his Grandparents.
The correct answer is paradox.
Paradox is a figure of speech that combines two completely opposite things into one. In the excerpt above, we can see that the speaker is willing to wait for his/her loved one his/her entire life, however, only if they don't take too long to get to him/her. This is a paradox because they weren't willing to wait for them long in the first place, as it turns out.
