A paradox contradicts itself so therefore it would have to be “Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life.”

Answer:

Explanation:

The Importance of Being Earnest is a play written by Oscar Wilde, and it develops a world where the protagonists escape from the real world and their tasks by addopting different personalities.

A paradox is defined as a statement that contradicts itself. Letter D accomplishes it since at the beginning it seems to talk about something "serious" and how this can lead to "amusement in life." The adjective "serious" means not cheerful, while the noun amusement refers to something enjoyable. So, if the first one is necessary to reach second one, the statement contradicts itself, turning into a paradox.

Answer:

“A Retrieved Reformation”

1. At the beginning of the story, Ben Price rightly thinks that the bank robberies under investigation are committed by Jimmy Valentine, because they bear his signature style.

2. Towards the end of the story, Ben Price's opinion changed completely.  Despite Jimmy Valentine's changed identity, Ben Price, correctly recognized Jimmy Valentine after the latter confirmed his true identity by unknowingly demonstrating his stylish ingenuity by opening the locked door.  Since, Jimmy Valentine decided to surrender himself for arrest, Ben Price must have concluded that Jimmy was actually a changed man, especially now that he had fallen in love with Annabel.

Explanation:

O. Henry, the author of “A Retrieved Reformation” published the short story in 1903.  The story narrated how an ex-convict, who was wanted for a series of bank robberies, suddenly repented and relinquished the life of crime because he had fallen in love with a woman.
