While an <u>oxymoron</u> is a figure of speech where two opposing words in meanings are used together intentionally for creating a special effect, an <u>euphemism</u> is concerned with the use of a word or phrase that replaces another with a less offensive or vulgar meaning.
<u>Examples of oxymorons are</u>:
- 2. Ted thought the game was <u>bittersweet</u> because his team won, but he was injured. <em>(The game was pleasant because of the result, but it included a bit of suffering since Ted ended up injured)</em>
- 4. After his ordeal, Richard looked like a member of the <u>living dead</u>. <em>(Richard seemed to be alive but with a dead soul)</em>
<u>Examples of euphenisms are</u>:
- 1.Nick was <u>stretching the truth</u> when he said that he was working on his second novel. <em>(Nick was saying something that wasn't exactly true...)</em>
- 3.The horse was <u>put to sleep</u> after injuring its leg at the derby. <em>(The horse was sacrified...)</em>

Explanation:
Romanticism is an
international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined
the fundamental ways in which people thought
about themselves and about their world, whereas neoclassicism draw inspiration from the "classical" art and culture of Greek and Rome. I would say that, out of your list, Romanticism is: enjoys the mysterious and strange, prefers untamed nature to rule conscious society, expresses a tone of melancholy because time does not permit full realization of ideals. I think the rest are neoclassicism.
Hope this helped!
