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

Answer: E
Explanation:
I hope this is correct! If it isn't I am so very sorry!
The correct answer is E because the sentence would read "Her love for disaster videos began to wane when she realized how barbaric they were."
This would be correct because wane means to decrease, and her interest would decline as she realized how sadistic disaster videos are (barbaric)
It is not A as being expensive has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
It is not B because while while yes, the second half of B could apply, but the meaning of bombard is misused. Bombard means to attack or interrupt.
C is not the best choice because disaster videos aren't listless. Listless means dull or boring.
D is just plain wrong.
True. They dont try to go more out of the different norms
1. He approaches a clearing in the woods, Bilbo sees three huge trolls sitting around a fire, eating mutton
2. The trolls threw sacks over each dwarf that approached.
3. Gandalf saved them by throwing his voice to mislead the dwarves and keep the trolls arguing until the morning.
4. They found weapons and took them.
