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.

Answer:

Read the poems below and answer the question that follows.

 

“The Taxi”

by Amy Lowell

When I go away from you

The world beats dead

Like a slackened drum.

I call out for you against the jutted stars

And shout into the ridges of the wind.

Streets coming fast,

One after the other,

Wedge you away from me,

And the lamps of the city p rick my eyes

So that I can no longer see your face.

Why should I leave you,

To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?

“Where Have You Gone”

by Mari Evans

Where have you gone

with your confident

walk with

your crooked smile

why did you leave

me

when you took your

laughter

and departed

are you aware that

with you

went the sun

all light

and what few stars

there were?

Where have you gone

with your confident

walk your

crooked smile the

rent money

in one pocket and

my heart

in another . . .

 

Compare the two poems in terms of presentation, poetic devices, and technique.  these are the passages and the question.
