Answer to Question #214017 in English for neelkamal

Question

A family wakes up to discover that their dog, two cats, and two frogs can now talk.

Answer 1

A family waking up to discover that their dog, two cats, and two frogs can now talk represents oxymoron which is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction and sarcasm which involves the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. The whole sentence in itself is sarcastic while stating that dog, two cats, and two frogs can now talk is an oxymoron.
