A Correct answer
Explanation

A paragon is a person or thing regarded as a perfect example of a particular quality - the ideal model. Option A 'Model of perfection' is correct. Misleading speech might be 'equivocation', wild tumult could be 'pandemonium', and easing pain would be 'analgesic' - none match paragon's meaning.
