if one uses a term like "giant shrimp", one creates a) An allusion b) A paradox c) Sarcasm d) An oxymoron
Answers
Answer:
d) An oxymoron
Explanation:
A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).
In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, oxymoron, etc.
An oxymoron can be defined as a figurative language that comprises of words or phrases that are contradictory.
This ultimately implies that, an oxymoron involves the intentional use of words or phrases that have opposite meanings.
Hence, if one uses a term like "giant shrimp", one creates an oxymoron because shrimps are small in all ramifications and cannot be referred to as a giant.
In conclusion, "giant shrimp" qualifies as an oxymoron because the words "giant" and "the small nature of a shrimp" are contradictory i.e have opposite meanings.
A Tempest
An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre’s1
cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.
The creatures chuckled on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gnashed their teeth.
And swung their frenzied hair.
The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster’s faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!
- by Emily Dickinson
A spectre (modern spelling is specter) is a ghost.

Non-standard English: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Getting to grips with unusual English writing
Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she
wouldn’t. She said it was a mean practice and wasn’t clean, and I must try
not to do it any more. That is just the way with some people. They get down
on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it. Here she was a-bothering
about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone,
you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had
some good in it. And she took snuff, too; of course that was all right,
because she done it herself.
Her sister Miss Watson, a tolerable, slim old maid, with goggles on,
had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spellingbook. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow
made her ease up. I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was
deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, “Don’t put your feet
up there, Huckleberry;” and “Don’t scrunch up like that, Huckleberry – set
up straight;” and pretty soon she would say, “Don’t gap and stretch like that,
Huckleberry – why don’t you try to behave?” Then she told me all about the
bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn’t
mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a
change, I warn’t particular. She said it was wicked to say what I said; said
she wouldn’t say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to
the good place. Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was
going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it. But I never said so,
because it would only make trouble, and wouldn’t do no good.

My story took place one day in my childhood, when only my younger brother and I were at home. My parents needed to leave the house for a few hours and we were left alone, however my brother who was a much younger child than me started exploring the house. He climbed onto a chair and began to fiddle with broken glass that was on top of my backyard wall. I didn't see what he was doing until I heard a very loud scream. I ran out into the yard and could see my brother with a bloody hand and broken glass stuck in it. I was also a kid at the time and I was very scared, but I had to help him by pulling the broken glass out of his hand and trying to stop the bleeding. Although everything worked out in the end, but that was a very scary experience that I witnessed.

Rivers stopped flowing along the banks so that they could hear Orpheus, whose music was more harmonious than theirs. The very rocks softened when he touched his lyre. what does the use of hyperbole accomplish?

Which of the following novels most closely resembles Brave New World?
A.) The Hunger Games
B.) Utopia
C.) Nineteen Eighty-Four
D.) The Tempest
Answers
Explanation:
Brave New World is a dystopian social science fiction novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State, whose citizens are environmentally engineered into an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual: the story's protagonist. Huxley followed this book with a reassessment in essay form, Brave New World Revisited (1958), and with his final novel, Island (1962), the utopian counterpart. The novel is often compared to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (published 1949).In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Brave New World at number 5 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.[2] In 2003, Robert McCrum, writing for The Observer, included Brave New World chronologically at number 53 in "the top 100 greatest novels of all time",[3] and the novel was listed at number 87 on The Big Read survey by the BBC.[4]
