My purple pen is out of ink
This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.
Answer:
In his book How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character, Paul Tough uses James Black's story as an example of how although having good cognitive abilities is necessary, hard work and proper education is much more important to turn intelligence into academic success.
Explanation:
James´amazing talent at playing chess, which usually indicates a high intelligence, didn´t match his academic results despite his teacher´s efforts. According to Tough, James´main obstacle was the deficiency of his education throughout his life, and not a lack of resolution or intellectual capacity. Furthermore, he praises Elizabeth Spiegel, James´teacher, for her efforts to get the kid to get better academic achievements, and claims that it´s teachers like her who actually understand educational needs and the importance of helping students develop their own intellectual abilities.
...Elaborate please? What story? If you tell me the name of the assignment I can probably get it for you.

Explanation:
Oxymoron is a figure of speech in which contradictory words are placed in the same sentence. These contradictory or opposite ideas bring a literary effect and helps the writer present the ideas more exclusively.
The sentence in option (b) presents an example of an oxymoron. The words that present the opposite or contradicting ideas are 'often' and 'times'. The family here travels to monuments and museums 'oftentimes' that brings the meaning of 'often' and 'times'.
