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 is it important to have open-ended questions when interviewing someone?
padilas [110]

Answer:

b. To encourage full, meaningful answers

Explanation:

The open questions guarantee a much more effective result in communication, in any circumstance, and especially in an interview, since they will allow a greater flow of dialogue, with the search for complete and meaningful answers.

Open-ended questions prompt respondents to provide answers using their own words. They are created in order to get more information than possible with the use of multiple choice questions or in another closed question format.
