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!

The tempest in lines 16-17 what is personified in these lines
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The storm is being personified in lines 16-17 of The Tempest.

Explanation:

Personification means giving human traits to an inanimate object. Personification is a literary device used by many authors to add depth and interest to their writing.

In lines 16-17 of The Tempest: "You are a councilor.

If you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the present,

we will not hand a rope more"

The elements in question refer to the storm, which was given a human trait with the sentence 'if you can command these elements to silence...'.

You can command or silence a person, but you can't do that to a storm.

So, the statement personified the storm (elements) with the human trait of being commanded and silence.

Write a letter to your friend in another country and tell him your experience in school so far in the midst of a pandemic
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Cherry,

How have things been? I know it's taken quite a while for my letters to come because of the pandemic ha ha. So many things have happened this year and the year before because of it. It's like we've had to do a complete 360 on our daily living. Which of course I don't mind, change is inevitable. We've had to get vaccinated, maybe start wearing two masks at one, restaurants and small businesses have to change how they run things, and a lot of people have lost a ton of money. Can you believe there are people who actually don't believe in the virus? It's sad honestly, but it can't be helped. Sorry if this letter wasn't very entertaining I just wanted to tell you about what's been happening here.
