An oxymoron is contradicting words (deafening silence, jumbo shrimp, etc), a paradox is contradicting ideas (I must be cruel to be kind)

Answer:

A paradox is the opposition of ideas or themes, an oxymoron is a contradiction merely between words

Explanation:

An oxymoron is composed up of two or more words that oppose. The words "Wise fool", "Warm freezer", "Deafening silence" are examples of an oxymoron.

A paradox is a statement that is seems contradictory to common sense but could be true. Paradox examples: "Save money by spending it", "if I know one thing, it's that I know nothing", "this is the beginning of the end", "deep down, you're really shallow."

Hope this helps :)

Oxana [17]

Answer:

B. the witnesses' testimonies

Explanation:

<em>A. the </em><u><em>witness's</em></u><em> </em><em>testimonies</em>

The underlined is a singular form of a possessive common noun. It should be in a plural form, considering the <em>bolded </em>text above( testimonies).

<em>B. the </em><u><em>witnesses'</em></u><em> </em><em>testimonies</em>

This is the correct option. The undelined is properly personalized and it is also pluralized to match the bolded text above.

<em>C. the witness' testimonies</em>

Same as option A.

What are the negative affects of social media use on students? and why?
Serga [27]
One negative effect is that it has lead to an upsurge in billing because people can now hide behind the internet and don’t have to say it to the actual persons face. Another problem is that it takes a lot of focus from students causing grades to drop and them not to pay attention to people and teachers
