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!

Discuss whether equality in hunter-gathering societies are of any relevance to 21st century society
ra1l [238]
I would say that equality in hunter-gatherer societies has a huge implication for the modern world.

The hunter-gatherer societies were the "original" societies, to which the humans evolved and the finding that the societies were much more egalitarian (both in terms of gender equality and social class equality) means that people cannot claim that inequality is somehow "natural" - it supports the need for equality in the modern world.

I read them my poem "Immigrants.” Immigrants wrap their babies in the American flag, feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie, na
Veseljchak [2.6K]
<span>Mora includes the poem in her speech to encourage her audience to remember their family history.
Mora's speech is about immigrants who want to blend into the new society so much that they completely delete their own family history and background. She is obviously against this, saying that we should be proud of where we come from and not try to eradicate every trace of our family history just to become Americanized.
