Answer:

(B) hard pleasure

Explanation:

An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two seemingly contradictory words are placed next to each other. Oxymorons can serve many purposes in a text, such as highlighting one of the concepts or forcing the reader to think carefully about the meaning of the words. In this case, the words "hard pleasure" are an example of an oxymoron, because usually pleasure is not considered to be hard.

Anton [14]

Answer:

The Dust Bowl was a devestating event in American History. The Dust Bowl was a period of time when dust covered multiple regions of the United states but eventually effected the entire country. The Dust Bowl survivors fled to the city of California to escape the dust in their hometowns. The survivors were viewied diffrently by the residents of California. Some viewed the survivors as refugees struglling to live while others viewed them as intruders competing for land and jobs in california. 

The Dust Bowl started in 1930 when severe drought started to hit the regions and in 1931 massive dust storms began to happen. By 1934 an estimated 35 million acres of formerly cultivated land had been rendered useless for farming, while another 125 million acres was rapidly losing its topsoil. The Dust killed many livestock and other animals that got in its way. The people living in the Dust Bowl areas were starting to escape the dust and go to California to start a new life. The citizens of California had diffrent viewpoints towards the survivors. Some viewed them as intruders competing for land and wealth in California while other viewed them as refugees escaping a natural disaster that they had no control over. The survivors just wanted to live in peace and make a living in california. The survivors were refugees because they just wanted to survive and if they had the intention to make money and be wealthy they would have done that before the Dust Bowl occured.

The Dust Bowl was a devestating event in the US history that affected all of the US. The survivors of the dust bowl were refugees with no intention of getting rich hoping to live and survive.

Which portion of an informational text usually contains the thesis?
Marizza181 [45]
Short Answer: A
A really super writer could get away with putting the thesis statement in the conclusion of a paragraph piece. But present day English Departments have become very rigid about where the thesis is.

It is always in the introduction. The idea is that you have to guide your reader to the arguments that follow in the paragraphs to come between the introduction and the conclusion.
