Answer:

B. After everyone flew out of the auditorium, Gabe and Brian were left alone together.

Explanation:

An oxymoron is a combination of two words that seem to be contradictory.

In B, we see two words 'alone together' that are contradictory.

Alone means 'by oneself, without anyone else.' Together means 'with another person or people'. This is an oxymoron.  

Oxymorons are the usage of the two contradicting words together. The use of the words alone together is an oxymoron. Thus, option B is correct.

What is an oxymoron?

Oxymoron in literature is a figure of speech that juxtaposes the contradictory meanings of the two words together. They create a self-contradiction.

The words alone together in the second sentence is an oxymoron as alone means oneself but together means in presence of another person. The words used together create a self-contradiction of being alone and together.

Therefore, option B. Gabe and Brian were left alone together is an example of an oxymoron.
