Read the sentence.You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.

The sentence reverses the relationship between “the girl” and “the country”: first the girl is taken out of the country, then the country is taken out of the girl. This crossed, inverted arrangement is chiasmus. Antithesis contrasts ideas, but the key feature here is the reversal in word order and meaning.
