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.

Describe what is revealed through the law of demand. Explain what the law of demand fails to reveal about the quantity demanded.
KiRa [710]
<h3>Describe what is revealed through the law of demand:</h3>

The law of demand is one of the most fundamental concepts in economics. It works with the law of supply to explain how market economies allocate resources and determine the prices of goods and services that we observe in everyday transactions.

<h3>Explain what the law of demand fails to reveal about the quantity demanded: </h3>

The law of demand states that quantity purchased varies inversely with price. In other words, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This occurs because of diminishing marginal utility.

Hope this helps!
