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.

Summarize Victorian England in one paragraph.
Degger [83]

Answer:

Victorian era, in British history, the period between approximately 1820 and 1914, corresponding roughly but not exactly to the period of Queen Victoria’s reign (1837–1901) and characterized by a class-based society, a growing number of people able to vote, a growing state and economy, and Britain’s status as the most powerful empire in the world. During the Victorian period, Britain was a powerful nation with a rich culture. It had a stable government, a growing state, and an expanding franchise. It also controlled a large empire, and it was wealthy, in part because of its degree of industrialization and its imperial holdings and in spite of the fact that three-fourths or more of its population was working-class. Late in the period, Britain began to decline as a global political and economic power relative to other major powers, particularly the United States, but this decline was not acutely noticeable until after World War II.
