allery"To err is human; to forgive, divine." shows:
AOxymoron
BAntithesis
CAlliteration
DSimile
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Antithesis
1. Antithesis introduces two opposites together for contrasting effect.
2. "Human" and "divine" are set against each other in parallel phrases.
3. An oxymoron joins opposites inside one phrase, such as cruel kindness.
4. So the line is antithesis.
**Why not the others:** An oxymoron fuses opposites in one phrase, alliteration repeats sounds, and a simile compares with "like".
