Answer:
The figurative language used in this sentence is: oxymoron.
Explanation:
By definition, a crowd is the gathering of a large number of people. However, in the sentence we are analyzing here, the speaker says there was a "small crowd". The two words have, therefore, opposite meanings - a "small large number of people," so to speak.
This is an example of oxymoron, a type of figurative language that puts together two words with opposite meanings. In context, however, the words can be understood. Although crowds are made up of a large number of people, some crowds can have many more people than others. Thus, the idea of a small crowd is understandable.
The sentence that is punctuated correctly is sentence D: The new school directory is out; it contains the names and phone numbers of all the students in the school. The first and the second clauses are independent clauses, and it would be incorrect to separate them by only using a comma if there are no coordinating conjunctions between both, For this reasons, the correct way to separate them is by using a period or a semicolon. In addition, it is not correct to use a comma to separate a list that only has two elements as in the case of list that includes "names" and "phone numbers".
The answer has to be metaphor
