Answer:

Oxymoron:

1: O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!

Paradoxes:

2: What a pity that youth must  be wasted on the young.

3: I can resist anything but  temptation.

4: How is it possible to have a  civil war?

Explanation:

Oxymoron:

It is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.

e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.

Based on this definition only "O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!" falls under the category of Oxymoron.

Paradox: It is similar to oxymoron, but it is usually a statement with logically contradictory statements which on investigation may or may not be logically true.

e.g "Everything I say is lie" , Barber Paradox: "A male barber shaves all and only those men who don’t shave themselves. Does he shave himself?"

As we can find out there are no contradictory terms/words, but the statements which may contradict each other.

Based on the above, we conclude that sentence 2, 3 and 4 are Paradoxes.
