This question is based on J.C. De Graft’s Sons and Daughters
‘Now look what we have: a permanent bloom of ugly paper flowers!
A. Rhetorical question
B. Oxymoron
C. Alliteration
D. Euphemism
Correct Answer:
Option B – Oxymoron
Explanation
The excerpt ended with exclamation mark not a question mark which automatically nullify option A (i.e. Rhetorical question – which is a question that requires no answer). Oxymoron is the answer because it is the placement of two opposite words side by side; paper flower in the excerpt is oxymoron.
