Answer:

B “My, wasn’t life awful...and wonderful”

Step-by-step explanation:

Juxtaposition occurs when two or more opposite or contrasting ideas are placed side by side in a story or a poem. The purpose of juxtaposition is to compare and contrast places, people or ideas. In this case, the author uses juxtaposition when he talks about life being both "awful" and "wonderful."
