Read the excerpt from Act II, scene v of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence: These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. Which pair of words from the excerpt is an oxymoron?

The correct answer is Violent- delights

Explanation:

An oxymoron occurs if the author of a literary work or text, includes two contradictory terms; usually to emphasize and idea through non-literal language. This can be seen in the terms "violent-delights" that have an opposite meaning because the word "violent" is used to describe something unpleasant while the word "delight" refers to pleasure or things that cause it. Also, in this case, the two contradictory terms are included together to emphasize the idea of the author about love and how this can be both violent and delightful.
