The correct option is HARD PLEASURE.

An oxymoron refers to a compound word (two words written together) whose meaning are contradictory to each other. The two words that are used together in oxymoron usually have completely opposite meaning and authors usually use it to engage the interest of the readers. For instance in the correct option mentioned above, hard and pleasure has opposite meanings. Other examples of oxymoron are: same difference, bitter sweet, alone together, open secret, original copy, etc.

The correct answer is B.

An Oxymoron is a rethorical device in which two contradictory words are combined.

The word "hard" refers to something difficult that has to be done with a great effort.

This definition does not concur with the word "pleasure", which refers to a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment.

By putting these two words together, Barry Lopez is creating an oxymoron.

D. This sentence uses parallel subjects and verbs.​

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to a quality of sentences in which each section of a sentence follows a similar structure. In this example, the sentence places the subject (wind, leaves, birds) before the verbs (blew, shook, flew). Moreover, all the verbs are presented in the simple past. This shows that the sentence employs parallelism, which increases its clarity and readability.
