Though there is no passage here, however, considering the available options, the quotation that is the clearest example of the paradox is:

"Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, . . . ? (paragraph 1)."

  • This is because Paradox is a figure of speech that is considered to contradict itself. Even though such a statement may be valid.

  • Thus, in this case, "having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, " are contradictory.

Hence, it is concluded that the correct answer in this situation is option B " Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, . . . ? (paragraph 1)."
