The meaning of the oxymoron in the above sentence is:

A. Helen did not want to face the sad news she received.

Oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two words which contradict each other occur in a line. The purpose of using this literary device is to dramatize the situation. They add wittiness and symbolism in the sentence.

In the above sentence, the word 'wide' and 'shut' are the examples of Oxymoron words. After listening to the tragic news, Helen's reaction to her husband's death has been described with the use of oxymoronic words. tomorrow

mixas84 [53]

Here are a lot of troubles that the people of community of African American have to go through already without the WPA men discriminating against African American.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the movie "War room", the troubles that the people of the community of African American have to go through have been shown. This irritates and frustrates the lady Miss Clara in the movie. She thinks that even without the WPA men discriminating against the men of the African American community, there are a lot of troubles lined up for them.

The people who belonged to the black community had to go through discrimination and segregation by the people who belonged to the white community. They did not enjoy as many rights and as many liberties as the whites enjoyed. They were mostly given work of the lower grade just because of the community they belonged to.
