The correct options are "A simple solution to a problem" and "Fear over a possible outcome".
This is a poster that was released by the United Kingdom's Royal Navy during World War II. It shows the image of a factory worker taking a break to smoke as we see the ships and destroyers in the background, while the ominous clock keeps on ticking. 
<u>The intentions and message are very clear: if the workers waste time, the production rate of ships and destroyers will decrease; if that happens, the war will continue and it will take longer to win</u>. The poster is trying to push forward a simple solution (factory workers not taking breaks in order to win the war fast) to a much more complicated problem, as actually winning the war will require a lot more than that. In addition, the message and presentation use the fear brought by war to push workers to their limits in a rather cruel manner.
Hope this helps!

Explanation:
An oxymoron is a figure of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other. It's often referred to as a contradiction in terms. As with other rhetorical devices, oxymorons are used for a variety of purposes. Sometimes they're used to create a little bit of drama for the reader; sometimes they're used to make a person stop and think, whether that's to laugh or to wonder.
