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.

The night whose sable breast relieves the stark. White stars is no less lovely being dark. Is this an example of imagery, allusi
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

It seems to me that this piece would either be an example of imagery, or an example of a metaphor.

Explanation:

An allusion means to reference someone else's work. Ambiguity is like a play on words. It just seems to me that this would either be imagery or metaphor over the other options.

Help please quick!! why do we use the word 'corridor' to describe trees that are planted?
kirza4 [7]

Explanation:

We conducted a study at the privately owned El Zota Biological Field Station in Costa Rica to assess the effects of forest management techniques on primate ecology and behavior. While many conservation-oriented studies note the need for “corridors” to promote dispersal between isolated habitat fragments, few studies provide quantitative information on their use by primates. From July to August 2002, we studied the three primate species that occur at the El Zota Biological Field Station in Costa Rica — Cebus capucinus, Ateles geoffroyi, Alouatta palliata — to compare their use of planted versus naturally forested areas. We collected approximately 25 hours of data to quantify the general activities exhibited by primates in these types of habitat.
