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!

What makes Buck a good leader? How is he and even better leader than Spitz? Provide specific examples- at least two.​
kow [346]

Buck is a better lead dog because he displayed good judgment, intelligence, the ability to keep order, and the skill to make the team work as hard as possible. Spitz was a great dog and leader; Buck was superior even to him.

Buck's leadership skills are very strong. He has a knack for making the other dogs do their share of the work, and he is also a good teacher for the new dogs added to the team.

According to information from the essay which statement best describes how the idea of the monster is created
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Assuming that the essay is the epic poem from around 1000 CE focusing on Beowulf in a third person narrative:

<span>“A man would roar, "I'll steal their gold and burn their meadhall!" shaking his sword as if the tip were afire, and a man with eyes like two pins would say, "Do it now, Cowface! I think you're not even the man your father was!" The people would laugh. I would back away into the darkness, furious at my stupid need to spy on them, and I would glide to the next camp of men, and I'd hear the same.”</span>

Assessment 2: Think of Me
salantis [7]

Based on the question given, a paragraph about how I faced my greatest challenge is explained below:

The greatest challenge I have had till now was my challenge with Mathematics. While growing up, I was bad with Mathematics, I disliked anything that had to do with calculations. There was a particular day in school that our examination scripts were given back to us. I realized that I had the lowest score in Mathematics. I was sad and I told myself that I was going to work harder. I have improved tremendously now and I'm happy I tackled my challenge.
