The correct answer is, <em>the two phrases that are oxymorons in this excerpt from Alexander Pope’s “An Essay on Criticism” are: </em>

The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read, / With loads of learned lumber in his head.

The term oxymoron means that there are contradictory terms in a phrase or that there are contradictory words. In this case, the oxymorons in the text are “The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read, / With loads of learned lumber in his head.” Bookful could be interpreted as intelligent, while Blockhead as a fool. “Ignorantly” means that he does not know or is not aware, and “red/learned,” meaning that he knows, he is aware. Those are the oxymorons.

“An Essay on Criticism” is one of the best poems written by the English writer Alexander Pope in 1711.

"The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read with Loads of Learned Lumber in his Head" is an example of an oxymoron. Especially the part when he says ignorantly read.

An oxymoron means that you are coupling two words or phrases that are so opposite it is absurd to pair them.

What is considered the most important power congress holds
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The power to make laws

Explanation:

The Constitution specifically grants Congress its most important power — the authority to make laws. A bill, or proposed law, only becomes a law after both the House of Representatives and the Senate have approved it in the same form. The two houses share other powers, many of which are listed in Article I, Section 8.
