    Antithesis is an example of a literary device where a proposition contrasts with one previously mentioned for effect. When specifically talking about a pair of contradictory words, however, the correct answer is oxymoron. These are two words that are seemingly opposite, such as ‘deafening silence’. So the correct answer is oxymoron.
