Explanation:

An oxymoron combines contradictory terms. "Miserable abundance" and "beggarly riches" are pairs of contradictory words. A paradox is a statement that seems self - contradictory but may express a truth. "What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young" and "I can resist anything but temptation" seem self - contradictory. "How is it possible to have a civil war?" is also a paradox as "civil" implies order and "war" implies disorder.
