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.

How did Ronald Regan help contribute to the cold war
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

So I actually have a Social Studies book from my old school, lucky for you, we got to the Cold War.

Here's what the book stated:

One of Reagan's proposals was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). He believed this defense shield could make nuclear war impossible, but the unlikelihood that the technology could ever work led opponents to dub SDI "Star Wars."

Also, I do know that this is also found on another website but thats probably where the book's information came from.
