Soliloquy and Figures of Speech in Romeo and Juliet, Part 4

Question 1 • EN091 Freshman English A

Which is an example of an oxymoron?

Answer
A
“well-seeming”
B
“cold fire”
C
“Dost thou not laugh?”

Explanation

An oxymoron joins two words with contradictory meanings. “Cold fire” combines “cold” and “fire,” which are opposites in this context, so it is an oxymoron. “Well-seeming” is not a contradiction, and “Dost thou not laugh?” is a question.
