Among the sentences in the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I think the statement that shows that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of his earlier life is: "Ivan Ilyich knows quite well and definitely that all this is nonsense and pure deception, but when the doctor, getting down on his knee, leans over him, putting his ear first higher then lower, and performs various gymnastic movements over him with a significant expression on his face, Ivan Ilyich submits to it all as he used to submit to the speeches of the lawyers, though he knew very well that they were all lying and why they were lying." This is because in his earlier life before he was terminally ill, he too also submitted to the lawyers in order to work his way up on the social ladder.

Answer:
“whose origin was a Terminus.“
Explanation:
Paradox is a contradictory assertion itself or contradictory to our expectations.
In the given example, two important words that make this paradox are origin and terminus. Origin, we can say, a start position, a position where something starts or is coming from, or develop from it. Terminus is the end of a bus or a train line, the last station, so generally the outermost point.
Pun is a wordplay that has an intentional humorous effect.
So, the excerpt <em>“whose origin was a Terminus.“ </em>is both paradox and a pun.
Yes, the correct answer is B because in the first line they said something about the destruction and described it as fiery. Fires are actually fiery that's why the answer is being burned alive... :)
