Jace Pham · Answer 1

D. Nobody goes to that restaurant because it is usually crowded.

Explanation:

A paradox is something that seems unreal, absurd or that is contradicting itself but is true when checked out. So, whenever we say something is paradoxical, we are implying that the thing talked about is absurd but true. The above statement that "Nobody goes to that restaurant because it is usually crowded" is paradoxical, in that it is absurd to say nobody goes to the restaurant but still is crowded. If nobody goes there, it is supposed to be empty but is always crowded, thus contradicting itself.
