Answer: Oxymoron: His honour rooted in dishonour stood, and faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. Metaphor: He was a gay dog, who didn't care what he spent. Onomatopoeia: Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in the town go boom- boom- boom-twelve licks; and all still again-stiller than ever. Hyperbole: she was a curious woman, whose eresses always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest.

Explanation: oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (faith unfaithful, falsely true). A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind (comparing a man to a dog). Onomatopoeia is the act of creating or using words that include sounds that are similar to the noises the words refer to (boom boom boom). A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement (always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest).

MrRa [10]
The correct answer is d. I was a friend, but I was never really one of them after they had read the citations, because it had been different with them and they had done very different things to get their medals

This is the correct answer because it explains that the people disliked him still even though he was given a medal only because they understood how he got it and were dissatisfied because he did nothing to obtain it, only got shot.
