Paradox, letter "d".

Explanation: Paradox is a stylistic element characterized by contradictory ideas and actions. For example, to preach love and beat children is a paradox.

In the text "The Third Bank of the River", the narrator says loud and clear that he is capable of taking his father's place no matter what.
