ASimile
BPun
CParadox
DRefrain
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Paradox
1. A paradox is a statement that seems self-contradictory or runs contrary to expectations.
2. "Less is more" seems contradictory.
3. Yet it points to a truth about simplicity.
4. So it is a paradox.
**Why not the others:** A simile compares with "like", a pun plays on word meanings, and a refrain is a repeated line.
