Question

Is there any literary device present in these two sentences and, if there is, what would it be?:

They spoke without a voice
And they leaped without a sound.

Answer 1

The literary device present in the sentences is an oxymoron.

Step-by-step explanation:

The literary device present in the sentences is a literary device called oxymoron. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. In the first sentence, 'They spoke without a voice,' the contradictory terms are 'spoke' and 'without a voice.' In the second sentence, 'they leaped without a sound,' the contradictory terms are 'leaped' and 'without a sound.'
