Which of these sentences contains an oxymoron?

English
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that relates two contradictory ideas together, like <em>falsely true</em> or <em>deafening silence</em>

In this sentence, Mr. Keynes is taking <em>work</em> <em>vacation. </em> This is contradictory because a vacation is taken in order to leave work. Therefore the oxymoron is that he is doing work during his vacation.

d. Being a pet detective is a serious job that requires a lot of hard work.

Several methods are employed to get the job done. Some of them include using dogs or cats to trace the pets with their smell and from the location where they were last seen, putting up signs which cost $295, and even employing news footage to get the public aware of the lost pet. Sometimes the Pet Detective might have to deduce a lie from the clients. All of these require a measure of hard work.
