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!

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

After the wrestling match, Johnny saw his father sobbing over his childhood pictures. The father was reminiscing about how his own father had raised them in such a relationship, the very same way he's doing now. This seems to be suggestive of his remorse and regret in how he had acted all along.

So, this act seems to signal a change in him while also most probably, a change in the father-son relationship. Thus, we can say that they will reconcile.

Explanation:

Chris Crutcher's short story "The Pin" revolves around the father-son relationship. The two major characters Johnny Rivers and his father Cecil B. Rivers' relationship is infused with jealousy, perfection, and a strained family relationship which culminated in their wrestling duel which seemed to finally mend their broken connection.

Amidst their strained father-son relationship, the duo got the chance to 'figure things out' between them when there's a student-parents' game in school. This power struggle's wrestling match was an intense one but which eventually ended with Johnny winning the game. Despite the offer of his hand to his father, he was rejected twice. But towards the end of the story, <u>when they got home, we see the father sobbing over his child-rearing methods, reminiscing that he's doing exactly how his own father had done to him. </u>

This outburst seems to suggest a change in the father. So, we can assume that the <u>father-son duo will reconcile despite their previous differences and start a new, loving relationship</u>.
