An example of a paradox can be seen when Georgina claims that danger means nothing to her.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Georgiana has a birthmark on her face.
  • She feels very bad about this mark because it hurts her self-esteem and makes her sad and embarrassed.
  • For that reason, she insisted that her husband do anything that would allow her to remove that mark from her face.
  • She doesn't mind that it's dangerous, because, to her, the danger has no meaning as long as she gets rid of the birthmark.

This is an example of a paradox because it allows two opposing concepts to be presented together. Danger means something very serious, but Georgiana says it doesn't mean anything.

Answer:

B.  A faster pace would have been more appropriate for the speech’s content and audience.

Explanation:

Mateo is speaking to the audience and refers to the audience as US indicating he is talking to fellow students about the injustice of the strict snow days.

Children are more likely to get bored listening to a talker with a professional tone or if the speaker is being more casual then the audience would think the speech is not important allowing the audience to miss the speech before it has even begun.

But by making the speech faster you are allowing the audience to begin to believe on their own about the injustice and it begins to work up their blood pressure.

Hitler was very good at getting the people to believe in what he wished because he made his speeches short and fast.
