Question

question 1 of 10
which of these sentences is an example of paradox?

a. out of the frying pan, into the fire.

b. through science, we will kill death itself.

c. money doesnt grow on trees, you know.

d. my argument is right because i said so.

Explanation:

A paradox is a statement that seems contradictory or illogical but may reveal a truth. Option B claims to "kill death," but death is the end of life, and killing death (which is not a living entity) is a contradictory idea, fitting the paradox definition. Option A is an idiom about moving from one bad situation to a worse one, not a paradox. Option C is a common saying about money not being easily obtained, not a paradox. Option D is a circular argument (begging the question), not a paradox.

Answer:

B. Through science, we will kill death itself.
