Answer:

Yes, you are correct! "Unmanicured landscape and moody skies guaranteed to release a raging squall" is hyperbole because it is an exaggeration and highly unlikely to happen. "Sounds of silence" is an oxymoron because the two words are opposites and do not typically go together.

The first phrase "Unmanicured landscape and moody skies guaranteed to release a raging squall" contains hyperbole, which is an exaggeration used for emphasis or effect.

The second phrase "sounds of silence" contains an oxymoron, which is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms for effect. In this case, "sounds" and "silence" are opposing terms that are combined to create an impactful and memorable phrase.

So your identification of hyperbole and oxymoron is correct!
