Answer 2

The correct answer is B. You have to be cruel to be kind

Explanation:

In language, a paradox refers to a statement that might contain contradictory or opposite ideas or terms, but that despite this can be true and logical. This differs from an oxymoron because in oxymoron contradictory terms are presented but these are not part of broader statements that the reader needs to interpret to understand the real meaning. This implies, from the options given the one that is an example of a paradox is "You have to be cruel to be kind" because this presents two contradictory ideas "cruel" and "kind" in a broader statement or action and despite this, it might be considered as true.
