feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!
still waking sleep, that is not what it is!
this love feel i, that feel no love in this"

a/hyperbole

Answer 1

The answer is D. Oxymoron

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxymoron is a combination of two words that really have opposite meanings. For example, heavy lightness! serious vanity!....feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health! fire is not actually cold its the opposite of what it actually is. I hope this helps :)
