I just did the test on plato and the correct answer for the first blank is (oxymoron) and the second blank is (paradox)

Answer 1

OXYMORON is two contradictory words together in a sentence.

PARADOX is a statement that at first seems false or contradictory but, upon further investigation, might be true or likely.

These are both figures of speech that are used to enhance the quality of an article and make the reader understand what the author means by making the words have extra flavor.
