if one uses a term like "giant shrimp", one creates a) An allusion b) A paradox c) Sarcasm d) An oxymoron
Allushta [10]

Answer:

d) An oxymoron

Explanation:

A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).

In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, oxymoron, etc.

An oxymoron can be defined as a figurative language that comprises of words or phrases that are contradictory.

This ultimately implies that, an oxymoron involves the intentional use of words or phrases that have opposite meanings.

Hence, if one uses a term like "giant shrimp", one creates an oxymoron because shrimps are small in all ramifications and cannot be referred to as a giant.

In conclusion, "giant shrimp" qualifies as an oxymoron because the words "giant" and "the small nature of a shrimp" are contradictory i.e have opposite meanings.

Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.
shepuryov [24]

The answer is the fourth option: dynamic because he is trying to communicate with the other wild beast.

The dog Buck, main character of the short novel "The Call of the Wild", quickly learns how to survive and how to become a leader. Once a pet living in a comfortable home, he is stolen and sold to become a sled-dog in Canada.

This excerpt shows Buck's reaction when he meets a wolf. Instead of running away, Buck walks toward the wolf, his body language showing both respect and strength. He knows he should not be too friendly so that the wolf won't find him to be weak. And he also knows he should not be too threatening if he wants a chance to get to know the other animal.
