Answer:

D. I stood alone in the deafening silence.

Explanation:

An oxymoron is basically, in simple terms, two words that seem contradict together.

Ex: Jumbo shrimp and silent scream.

Oxymoron means that two contradictory words or concepts are combined in a saying or sentence to give an effect. A common oxymoron is "jumbo shrimp." Everyone knows that shrimp can't be jumbo, but saying it like this lets us know that the shrimp is rather big.

The choice that has an oxymoron is:

D. I stood alone in the deafening silence.

Silence can not physically be deafening, as there is no noise at all. "Deafening silence" helps convey that it was so quiet that the person could have been deaf OR they could have meant that it was so quiet that it seemed loud.

Hope this helped!
