  • 'Oxymoron' is described as the literary device in which two words or phrases conveying contradictory or opposing meanings are employed together deliberately for creating a special impact.
  • The sentence that uses oxymoron would be "The lawyer...clients" as it employs two words 'deceptively' and 'honest' having entirely contrasting meanings.
  • This helps develop a dramatic impact by outlining the conflict between the ideas of being misleading and truthful at the same time.
