The lack of information about Shakespeare presents questions of credibility and reliability. People may believe that Shakespeare was a front to hide the identity of the real author/authors, and that Shakespeare did not write plays credited to him rather than another discredited author.
You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation".
Answer:
With the use of oxymoron, Turkle meant that we live constantly alone, but always in "contact" with the people we care about through technology. This statement influences the entire article showing how this ability is affecting our personal relationships.
Explanation:
The article shows how technology has enabled an atificial and shallow form of community. This is because technology allows us to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, however, this communication does not form bonds and we are always alone.
However, we are alone in a collective way, since all people use this same type of communication. This results in the creation of large groups, which in fact do not exist, are not substantial. As the author of the article says, technology makes us come "a tribe of one."
The answer that would best complete the given statement above would be option D. RHYME and C. METAPHOR. Based on the given passage above, Franklin used RHYME and METAPHOR to express a deeper truth. The words that rhymed are more and shore. Hope this answers your question.
