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!

B. adventurous

Explanation:

The <em>tone</em> created in the paragraph is "adventurous." This is supported by the phrase<em> "collection of revolutionary bullets."</em> This means that the narrator's collection was<em> out-of-the-ordinary.</em> The phrase<em> "searched for tarantulas" </em>sounds adventurous and the narrator kept finding these bullets while she was doing her adventures. What makes it even interesting is that she can find it beyond the city. This means that her adventure goes far <u>beyond the open fields.  </u>
