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.

What is the following key word used for?
ValentinkaMS [17]

The key word for "third" is 'sequence' because it develops an idea related to  events which occurred before and the author uses this adverb to continue sequencing a story, an anecdote or an event.

This adverb is usually used in story-telling and helps the author/speaker indicate what happened before and what happened after.

---

Examples of key words for the other options:

- adding an idea: and, furthermore, in addition, etc.

- explanation or illustration: for example, in other words, to illustrate, etc.

- emphasis and purpose - time: indeed, previously, above all, etc.

-repetition and summary: again, to sum up, in sum, etc.
