7 0

Among all the given options, the statement which is consisted of the oxymoron is “We found ourselves in a fine mess after we decided not to follow the map.” Hence, Option D is correct.

<h3>What is an oxymoron?</h3>

In order to generate an apparent self-contradiction, a figure of speech known as an oxymoron juxtaposes ideas with different meanings within a single word or phrase.

Oxymoron can also be described as a phrase or phrase group that contradicts itself. Like Shakespeare's line from Romeo and Juliet, "Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!"  is an example of an oxymoron.

Thus, Option D is correct.

joja [24]
The sentence which uses quotation marks correctly is: "How are your classes?" asked Xavier. When using quotation marks with a question sentence, always include the question mark inside the quotation marks and a comma after the quoted sentence is no longer necessary.
