Hi there!

The following is an oxymoron, since both words mean the opposite of each other. 
The definition of an oxymoron is two words (or two sets of words) that are the opposite of each other but mean something other than that. 

Hope this helps!

Deafening Silence is an example of an oxymoron because it simply can't exist. Deafening is a word that is used to describe something that is really loud. Loud and Silent are opposites. This is how I know that statement is an oxymoron.

Which nouns in the sentence are acting as direct objects
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Nicole discovered the key to the hidden garden and opened the door.

First identify the verbs.

Nicole discovered the key to the hidden garden and opened the door.

To find the direct object of <em>discovered</em>, ask <em>what</em> Nicole discovered, she discovered "the key". Note that "to the hidden garden" qualifies the key, so "the key to the hidden garden" could be the complete word group. You will find out when you click on it, either just "the key" or the complete word group.

To find the direct object of <em>opened</em>, ask <em>what</em> Nicole opened, she opened "the door".
