As he was a trained chemical engineer, the categories for chemistry and physics were obvious choices. The reasoning behind the peace prize is less clear. According to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, his friendship with Bertha von Suttner, a peace activist and later winner of the prize, profoundly influenced his decision to include peace as a category. Some Nobel scholars suggest it was Nobel's way to compensate for developing destructive forces. His inventions included dynamite and ballistite, both of which were used violently during his lifetime. Ballistite was used in war and the Irish Republican Brotherhood, an Irish nationalist organization, carried out dynamite attacks in the 1880s. Nobel was also instrumental in turning Bofors from an iron and steel company to an armaments company. Which figure of speech can be associated with Nobel introducing the peace prize? OPTIONS     1) Onomatopoeia – dynamite sounds like the explosion it might lead to.   2) Irony – the man who invented violent weapons like dynamite and ballistite also instituted a prize for peace.   3) Paradox – Nobel's building of the dynamite and propagation of the Irish Republican Brotherhood are opposites.   4) Tautology – Dynamite and ballistite are two names for the same chemical.   5) Metaphor – Dynamite is a symbol for the destructive forces of war. discuss TestFunda.com - LEARN with THE LEADER in Online MBA Test Prep Demo Lessons   |   Take a Demo Test   |   Buy Courses   |   Fun Learning Games   |   100-Percentilers About TestFunda.com - TestFunda is backed by www.ZeusLearning.com. 3 IIT-IIM graduates form the Management Team. - The 85+ member team has vast experience in MBA Coaching and Computer-Based Training and Testing. - For 12 years Zeus has created award-winning courseware for companies like Discovery Channel, Reader's Digest, Texas Instruments, Pearson Education. - The TestFunda Advisory Board comprises CEOs and MDs of international educational companies.
