Question

'France brought the World Cup home.'

a) onomatopoeia
b) euphemism
c) synecdoche 
d) antithesis

Sailor · Answer

Ok so, a onomatopoeia shows sound using words. There are no words that show sounds. So the answer couldn't be A.  Euphesim is a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.  There isn't anything being described as unpleasant or embarrassing, so it can't be B.  And antithesis is a person or thing that is the direct opposite of someone or something else. The word antithesis is a noun, so it would have to be used in the sentence correctly.  Therefore, your answer is C.
I hope this helps if anyone find that it's wrong let me know! *I hope this isn't a  direct answer*
