Hello there,

Which if the following sentences contains an oxymoron

If I'm correct, the answer would be

A. Starting off in the distance, Jenny thought, I’m going to be all right

Because, an oxymoron is a figure of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other.

Those words should be Starting off in the distance
