Answer:

oxymoron: Is a group of contradictory words placed as a pair in a sentence.

personification: This is the assignment of a human characteristic to a non-living thing.

Explanation:

An oxymoron in a sentence contains a set of contradictory words placed together in a sentence. For example in the sentence; Driving is a necessary evil, the pair of words necessary evil are contradictory because they seem to be the opposite of themselves.

Personification gives the attribute of humans to things that have no life in them. For example, in the sentence, The sun smiled at him, the sun is given the quality of a human which is, smile.

select antecedent of the pronoun in the following sentence the "strikers will return to work when you when the union representat

Blizzard [7]

The antecedent of a pronoun is basically the noun that a pronoun replaces, AKA the noun that the pronoun refers to. It should be somewhere before the pronoun in the sentence. In the sentence "Strikers will return to work when the union representative has completed their name negotiation," the pronoun is "their." Whose name negotiation is being completed? The strikers. This could read, "Strikers will return to work when the union representative has completed THE STRIKERS' name negotiation." That works! So, the pronoun "their" refers to the strikers.

Answer: strikers

B: I (39) am meeting Some friends tonight, actually. What about tomorrow?

B: Of course. What time (41) does Your flight leave?

A: At two. But I (42)am not doing Anything in the morning. You could help me pack my bags!

Explanation:

We use the present simple to talk about habits, facts and arranged timetables like the train or flight schedules.

To write affirmative sentences in present simple:

He/she/it + verb +s

For example, He eats lunch at noon every day.

We/you/they/you +verb

For example, We eat lunch at noon every day.

Note that the verb is without the s.

To write negative sentences in present simple:

He/she/it + does not / doesn't + verb

For example, He doesn't like broccoli.

We/you/they/you + do not / don't +verb

For example, We don't like broccoli.

To write questions in present simple:

Does + he/she/it + verb ?

For example, Does he like chocolate?

Do + we/you/they/you + verb?

For example, do you like chocolate?

36, 37, and 41 use the present simple to talk about timetables and schedules regarding the audition and flights.

We use the present continuous to talk about ongoing actions at the moment or arranged plans for the future.

To write affirmative sentences in present continuous:

He/she/it + is +verb +ing

For example, He is cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are + verb +ing

For example, We are leaving tomorrow.

To write negative sentences in present continuous:

He/she/it + is not / isn't +verb +ing

For example, he isn't cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are not/ aren't + verb +ing

For example, We aren't leaving tomorrow.

To write questions in present continuous:

Is + he/she/it +verb +ing?

For example, Is he cooking dinner at the moment?

Are + we/you/they/you + verb +ing?

For example, are you leaving tomorrow?

34, 35, 38, 39, 40, and 42 use the present continuous to talk about plans for the future. The main difference with the present simple in this aspect is that even though we can use both tenses to talk about the future, the present simple is for timetables and the present continuous, for plans or arranged dates that we or others make.
