Question

“Give me a place to stand, Archimedes said, “and I can move the world.” These words show which figurative language?

a. paradox
b. satire
c. simile
d. metaphor

Answer 1

Well actually, in my opinion the answer is A, paradox. Hope that helped

Answer 2

This is a 'paradox'. Because that is a situation that is made up of two opposite things and seems impossible but is actually true or possible. So, he wants to STAND but at the same time MOVE the world.
