Andrej [43]3 years ago

The answer to this is D. Two contradicting words that are put together to form a figure of speech is called an Oxymoron. The word comes from Greek words oksus (meaning pointed) and moros (meaning dull or stupid). Oxymoron can be paradoxical or visual and physical. Paradoxical Oxymoron contradicts itself (example: “deafening silence”) while Visual and Physical Oxymoron can take the place of the noun or adjective in order to describe vividly to the reader (example: “plastic glass for drinking”).   <span> </span>

Which option was used to revise this ​sentence? You should stand up for your rights. Stand up for your​ rights! A. reversed the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The option used to revise this sentence was C. changed to a​ question, exclamation, or command.

Explanation:

The original sentence, "You should stand up for your rights," is conveying a suggestion. By using "should", the speaker is presenting his opinion, but not in an imperative manner. It's as if he said, "It would be good if you did this. But, whether you do it or not, it is your decision."

The revised sentence, "Stand up for your rights!", is in the imperative mood, meaning it conveys a command, an order. Unlike the original sentence, this one eliminates the suggestion of a course of action. Instead, it urges the listener to do it, to obey. A sentence in the imperative mood does not need to present a subject– it is inferred that it is the second person. It commonly begins directly with the base form of the verb; the exclamation mark is an indicative of urgency.
