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.

SIZIF [17.4K]
The correct option is this one -  A complex sentence has one independent clause (a whole sentence) and one dependent clause (a partial sentence).
A dependent clause is a type of a clause which cannot stand on its own, but rather has to be included in a bigger sentence in order to make sense. Here, the dependent clause is <em>Even though April began eating more fruits and vegetables. </em>As you can see, this clause sounds incomplete, which is why it is joined with the independent clause <em>she decided to continue drinking soft drinks </em>in order to make sense.
