The answer to this is D. Two
contradicting words that are put together to form a figure of speech is called
an Oxymoron. The word comes from Greek words oksus (meaning pointed) and moros
(meaning dull or stupid). Oxymoron can be paradoxical or visual and physical.
Paradoxical Oxymoron contradicts itself (example: “deafening silence”) while
Visual and Physical Oxymoron can take the place of the noun or adjective in
order to describe vividly to the reader (example: “plastic glass for drinking”).

Rewrite #1 in the tone/voice required, you can not change any of the wording below but you can add items and wording.
Angry Voice/Tone:
1. Mary has been the pride of the community for decades. From feeding the homeless, holding clothing drives to operating an affordable daycare, Mary has been a blessing. Many would say she is an angel on earth providing miracles with limited income as a 5th grade teacher.
Answer:
Although many people believe that Mary has been the pride of the community for decades, few people know how terrible she is to animals. She is known for many good things from feeding the homeless, holding clothing campaigns to operating an affordable daycare, but I have already seen her mistreating street animals terribly. Everyone says Mary has been a blessing, but she is a big scam. Many would say that she is an angel on earth, but I would never say that, because I know of the sins that she commits. Many say that she is an angel providing miracles with limited income as a 5th grade teacher, but they don't even know how they are being deceived.
Explanation:
The tone of a text is the feeling that the author wants to convey to the reader during reading. In the case of the text presented above, the tone of the original text was modified with words that re-represent Mary in a negative way, showing that she is a great phrase and that she should not be admired, as in the original text. The rewritten text has a tone of anger, because the narrator knows that Mary is lying and deceiving everyone, because she is, in fact, a bad person.
