Cloze Test – Test 236

In the following passage, there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Find out the appropriate word/phrase in each case.

A paradox is a statement that, despite apparently sound reasoning from true premises, (21) to an apparently self-contradictory or logically unacceptable conclusion. A paradox involves contradictory yet interrelated elements that exist (22) and persist over time. <br> Some logical paradoxes are known to be invalid arguments but are (23) valuable in promoting critical thinking. <br> Some paradoxes have revealed errors in definitions assumed to be rigorous, and (24) caused axioms of mathematics and logic to be re-examined. One example is Russell's paradox, (25) questions whether a "list of all lists that do not contain themselves" would include itself, and showed that attempts to found set theory on the identification of sets with properties or predicates were flawed. Others, such as Curry's paradox, are not yet resolved.
