Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt? It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

tatiyna

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Dispatches.

By autumn, what had begun as an adventurous expedition had turned into an exhausting, indecisive war of attrition in which we fought for no cause other than our own survival.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt?

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

b. it is unusual that soldiers should ever be forced to fight merely to survive.

c. it is surprising that the expedition turned out to be so exhausting and difficult.

d. it is unfortunate that the soldiers did not have the easy time they had anticipated.

Answer:

The statement which best explains the paradox in the excerpt is:

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

Explanation:

A paradox can be defined as a statement that at first may seem to contradict itself or simply to be absurd. We all know how horrific war is. Battles involve suffering, pain, trauma, killing/dying, or becoming forever disabled. For that reason, it seems absurd that someone would describe war as "an adventurous expedition." An adventure is often an activity seen as both exciting and dangerous. However, it is not fatal. We do not expect to go on an adventure and die.

The author is showing readers that the city only functions because of the people who work to ensure it.

The image below shows some effects of globalization. In the last image we see a boat full of people, symbolizing the era of great sailing, whose aim was to discover new commercial routes beyond its territory. Therefore, through this image we can see that man has always been eager to explore new places and expand his business in search of profitability, this is what happens in the phenomenon of globalization.

Globalization is a phenomenon that has impacted human interactions and has occurred due to new technologies, ease of movement and communication, which has enabled man to seek business beyond his country.
