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.

How to Build a Fire Pit 1. Create the base. To ensure you get the preferred size, begin by using a tape measure to measure the d
lesantik [10]

The revisions that would make the diagram of the fire pit more effective are:

1. Including images for each step of the process;

2. Adding a label to indicate the depth of the fire pit;

3. Including labels for all materials mentioned.


Those revisions would make it easier for the person building the fire pit to visualize the work that has to be done and the way it is supposed to be done. Understanding the materials, their appearance and use is an important step to ensure the success of the project. Since the depth is crucial for the fire pit to function properly, being able to visualize the correct depth is also essential for the building. The pictures of each step would help eliminate possible doubts, especially if the images are well depicted and numbered.
