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.

aev [14]

c. to exaggerate

Hyperbole is used to exaggerate a thought or idea. It often makes the tone humorous or overly dramatic. It's important to be careful when using hyperbole in writing because it can also make the speaker seem unreliable since a hyperbole is not a complete truth. A few examples of everyday hyperboles are: My homework is going to take forever. I'm so hungry, I could eat a cow. I'm so embarrassed, I could die.
