The matching of the quotes is as follows:

"O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" – John Donne

This quote uses oxymoron, since it is using words that cancel each other out. These words being miserable abundance and begarly riches, together seem contradictory but it does describe correctly.

"What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young." – George Bernard Shaw

This one shows a paradox where it states that young people waste their youth. Makes you think about how a young person would waste their youth still being young.

"I can resist anything but temptation." – Oscar Wilde

This one shows paradox, since it is more than a couple of words, that are describing an action that is contradicting itself. In this case resisting anything but temptation.

"How is it possible to have a civil war?" – George Carlin

This one shows an o 2 oxymoron, since it consts of 2 words that are contradicting eachother. Making us ask ourselves, "How can there be a war that is civil?"

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

She ascended the stair case with her face guarded by her dark hood. The glare of light illuminated the burn on the side of her face, the large blemish covering most of her cheek and part of her right eye.

She had the demeanor that brought suspicion from wandering eyes around the library.The events of earlier that day flashed across her memory in chronological order. Starting from the moment it all began to the moment it ended. It started as domestic abuse but slowly and gradually turned into something more. She should have never let it go that far.

Eh? Good or No?
