Question

While aphorisms and epigrams both express a truth about life, an epigram is usually:

a. critical
b. figurative
c. paradoxical

(It's either A or C, please help)

Answer 1

c. paradoxical

Step-by-step explanation:

a. is not the right answer. Epigrams are often witty, but they don’t have to be critical.

b. is not the right answer. Epigrams don’t put insights into the figurative forms.

c. is the correct answer. Epigrams are tools, presented as statements and short insights in the text. These passages are usually funny, satirical, and paradoxical, and usually inserted in the poems in verse.
