    A Simile Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Oxymoron Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Onomatopoeia Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Alliteration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Onomatopoeia uses words that imitate the sounds they represent  Simile compares two different things using the words "like" or "as" to draw a resemblance or highlight a similarity between them.  Oxymoron combines contradictory terms to create a unique effect or emphasize a paradox.  Alliteration uses repeated consonant sounds at the beginning of several words for emphasis and rhythmic effect.
