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.

Why do you think dickens chose to introduce oliver in a workhouse? how does this choice affect the story that follows? support y
Sever21 [200]

Oliver Twist was written there was no welfare state and so there was practically nothing as mechanisms for dealing with the poor as we know them today. The mortality rate for childbirth was very high this is one of the main problems that are presented throughout the novel.

<h3> How does this choice affect the story that follows?</h3>

Oliver Twist is born and raised in a life of poverty and tragedy in a workhouse in the fictional town of Mudfog, located 70 miles to the north of London.

From the depictions of workhouses and baby farms, we can see Dickens is expressing great concern for the social aspects of the time. The fact that the story initially is set on the baby farm later on the workhouse wants to centre our attention on the social injustice inherent at the time. We can see this is a depiction of some of the ideals of Dickens in a struggle for a more equal society.

As is expressed in the story “Some people are nobody's enemies but their own”― we can infer there is a lot of concern from the author dealing with the idea societies should be more equal.

Thus, this could be the answer.

IK THIS IS REALLY Long But PLZ HELP ME!!!!

C) No

A can be removed because it is not talking about politics like the question asked. B can be removed because the essay does not speak of politics. I decide to remove D because after reading it, the text does not mention how newspapers develop over time. Instead, it talks about how newspapers were made and how throughout different areas. This leads to answer choice C, which truthfully claims that the author focuses on the technology (in this case, it simply means tools or items) used to make different types of newspapers.

Hopefully, this helped. if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask !
