Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Read the following excerpt from "Madam and the Rent Man" by Langston Hughes.
He said, Madam,
I ain't pleased!
I said, Neither am I.
So we agrees!
The poet chooses to use slang in this stanza because it
A.reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic. B.avoids using informal language, which is not appropriate for poems. C.provides a standard rhyme within the stanza, which makes the poem easier to understand. D.shows a bond between Madam and the rent man that suggests they will resolve their differences.
Answer:
A. reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.
Explanation:
When the poet decided to use slang in the poem, he wanted to establish a language closer to the readers, so he decided to write in a more informal tone and using common words from the daily lives of people.
This, in addition to bringing the text closer to the reader, allows the reader to read something in a more familiar and realistic language, increasing their understanding of the work.
<span>"Everyday Use" is actually a short story that was written by Alica Walker and based on the excerpt above taken from this story, the description that most likely illustrates the importance of the title of the story is that people show a connection with their culture by continually revisiting their past traditions. The answer would be option A. </span>

Answer:
Oxymoron:
1: O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!
Paradoxes:
2: What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.
3: I can resist anything but temptation.
4: How is it possible to have a civil war?
Explanation:
Oxymoron:
It is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.
e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.
Based on this definition only "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" falls under the category of Oxymoron.
Paradox: It is similar to oxymoron, but it is usually a statement with logically contradictory statements which on investigation may or may not be logically true.
e.g "Everything I say is lie" , Barber Paradox: "A male barber shaves all and only those men who don’t shave themselves. Does he shave himself?"
As we can find out there are no contradictory terms/words, but the statements which may contradict each other.
Based on the above, we conclude that sentence 2, 3 and 4 are Paradoxes.
