The answer is:  C. The lawyer was deceptively honest with his clients.

Oxymoron happens when terms that have opposite meanings emerge close together.

In the example sentence, the words <em>deceptively </em>and <em>honest </em>possess contradictory definitions. <em>Deceptively </em>means in a manner which gives a misleading impression, while <em>honest </em>implies being sincere or free of deceit.

Analyze how imagery contributes to the meaning and style in this excerpt from Thoreau’s book, Walden. Cite evidence from the tex
SSSSS [86.1K]
Thoreau's Walden is about nature and its superiority to the civilized world. Hence his imagery implies the authenticity and vividness of nature, as opposed to the superficial and artificial edifice of humanity and civilization. Imagery appeals to human senses, and the reader gets a feeling that the described phenomenon can be touched, heard, seen, smelled - which conveys a colorful and profound view of nature, as something that is far from mere abstraction. Nature is, in fact, a genuine part of us that we can immerse in and enjoy with the whole of our being. For example, "the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore" is an auditory imagery - we can almost hear the thrush's song and its echoing. A visual imagery can be seen in "<span>shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections" - there are nuances of colors and meanings in this passage, which imply the ever changing and ever evolving nature of the landscape, which seems to have a life of its own.</span>

Who gets rid or Gregor's corpse after his death?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A. The woman who cleans the house.

Explanation:

In Metamorphosis, a short story written by Franz Kafka, the main character, Gregor, finds himself at the beginning of the story turned into a sort of bug, which alienates him from his family and from his daily routine, not to mention his own consciousness. Towards the end of the story, Gregor, completely separated from his family, dies after an unfortunate and sad event and, we are told, the woman who cleans the house, without ceremony, gets rid of the corpse.

Match each excerpt to its poetic style. (Tiles) enjambment iambic pentameter blank verse
Brrunno [24]
I don't think that your options match your tiles - you must have copied them wrong. I can only match iambic pentameter with D. each foot consists of one unstressed followed by a stressed syllable.
However, enjambment has nothing to do with the stress in syllables, but rather with the fact that some poets like to continue a sentence in a poem into the next line, without the use of commas or other pauses. Blank verse is a type of a verse that doesn't have a rhyme, and is made up of iambic pentameters.
