Answer 1

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxymoron contains words that contradict themselves

Choice C contains "roaring silence"

Roaring silence is an oxymoron because roaring means loud or noisy, and silence means quiet. Roaring and silence contradict each other, so they are the oxymoron
