By part (a), the Paris model is well-founded. Let be an automorphism of a first-order structure of . External epsilon induction shows that every element is fixed: if for every , then preservation of membership and extensionality give
Hence is the identity function. This is Paris models are rigid when their complete theory has a well-founded model, so every Paris model of is a rigid first-order structure.
