This is an example of oxymoron, a type of figurative language that puts together two words with opposite meanings. In context, however, the words can be understood. Although crowds are made up of a large number of people, some crowds can have many more people than others. Thus, the idea of a small crowd is understandable.
The answer is: A, B and D. Soliloquy comes from Latin <em>solo</em> ( to himself) and <em>loquor</em> (I speak). And it is a literary device used in a drama with the purpose to <em>reveal the thoughts of a character</em> while <em>he talks to himself</em>, without perceiving the presence of another person. It is like thinking outloud, which helps the audience to know what is happening <em> inside the character.</em>
