Which phrase is an example of an oxymoron in this passage?
Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate,
O anything of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms,
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health
Still-waking sleep that is not what it is!
-William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet Act I, Scene i, lines 180-186.
O A. sleep that is not what it is
O B. Here's much to do with hate

O D. well-seeming forms

Answer:

C. Cold fire

Explanation:

According to the Oxford dictionary an oxymoron is "a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g. faith unfaithful kept him falsely true )." So the phrase a "cold fire" is an oxymoron because it is directly contradicting itself.
