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 “whose origin was a Terminus.“ is both paradox and a pun.

Zina [86]

Answer:

Neto's conflict about playing football for racist fans is developed through

complications. First, he encourages all of the players to quit the team, but most of

the players decide to keep playing. Then, the school officials refuse to help. These

events reach a climax when Allison reads a letter against racism at the next football

game. The resolution is that the fans change their behavior. Now, Neto knows that

some things are more important than football and that he can make a difference in his

community.

amid [387]

Answer:

Nowhere man.

Explanation:

John's lyrics are somewhat autobiographical and introspective on this 1965 song that features brilliant harmonies throughout and lyrics that offer help to the forlorn listener. It is the song titled "Nowhere man."

John Winston Lennon was an English singer and songwriter, he was born on the 9th of October, 1940 in Liverpool, England. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by Mark David Chapman and died on the 9th of December, 1980 in New York, United States of America.

John formed his first band named "The Quarrymen" which later became "The Beatles" band in 1960 with the world famous James Paul Mccartney.

On the 21st of October, 1965 John recorded the song titled "Nowhere man" with his Beatles band in their sixth (6) studio album titled "Rubber soul." The rendition of Nowhere man was done in a three-part harmony by John, Paul and Harrison while John and Harrison played the lead guitar solo in unison.

Nowhere man was the first song which was unrelated to love, relationships or romance to be recorded and released by The Beatles. Apparently, the song was about John or simply put, the song was somewhat autobiographical, philosophical and introspective as it was written in first person.

Here's an excerpt from the song;

[Verse 1]

\\He's a real nowhere man.

\\Sitting in his nowhere land.

\\Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
