Question

What figurative language is being used in this sentence: The couple hadn't been out alone together since their baby was born six months ago.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxymoron

Explanation:

Oxymoron is a figure of speech in which contradictory or incongruous words are combined. In the given sentence, an example of oxymoron is alone together. When someone is alone, they are on their own, with no one else present. However, the word together implies that two or more people are present. This is why it's unusual to see these words combined. Their meanings are contradictory, which makes this an oxymoron.
