I rep industrial mathematics..d toughest dept in uniben ...team 300level.....I greet una ooooo

Didi 5: Yes my oga is right.
Figure of speech as a paradox:
A cursory look at the statement will show a completely contradictory,ridiculous and silly statement.But a closer and detailed look will reveal some hidden truth in the statement.Except where we dont want to be true with ourselves, we must admit that the statement does not make sense at its actual examination

Faith93: a paradox is a statement dat has two opp features nd derefore seems strange or absurd...miss berhnie..am ryt..its nt an oxymoron..cos dat wan na two contradictory wrds placed side by side.nd dis statement makes no sense at a slight glance ..bt wen u try to observe it mre, den u c it does....GOOD MAWNIN/DAY to u'all!

odizeey: n riley don gv una clear definition.

If u were able to read well u could hv seen dat I was just a messenger

odizeey: Explicit7 says d ans is paradox. Not oxymoron or antithesis.
The reason cos paradox consists of two contradictory words.(beginning-end) and dey occur at statement level.
Mickey him say the ans na paradox cos it is a statement whose meaning is senseless but contains some hidden truth as drog dray said.
Thank you
